Abstract

Functionally gradient materials are characterized by uniform changes in composition, crystallinity, and/or grain structure, which may provide unique biological, chemical, or mechanical functionalities in next-generation medical devices. In this article, the development of functionally gradient Zr−Nb alloys, hydroxyapatite coatings, and diamondlike carbon-metal coatings for medical applications is reviewed.
