Abstract

The Zn-0.5Ti alloy bone regeneration membranes, prepared via powder metallurgy, hot extrusion, and hot rolling, exhibit robust mechanical properties (tensile strength: 122.5 ± 1.8 MPa, elongation: 18.3 ± 0.7 %), appropriate degradation rate (0.127 mm/year in SBF solution), and good biocompatibility (cytotoxicity grade 0–1). After 4 and 8 weeks of implantation, the alloy showed significant bone growth (bone volume ratios (BV/TV): 11.3 ± 1.8 % and 23.1 ± 3.5 %, respectively, measured by Micro-CT), indicating promising potential as a GBR membrane material. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
