Porous structures can reduce the elastic modulus of implants, decrease stress shielding, and avoid bone loss in the alveolar bone and aseptic loosening of implants; however, there is a mismatch between yield strength and elastic modulus as well as biocompatibility problems. This study aimed to investigate the parametric design method of porous root-shaped implants to reduce the stress-shielding effect and improve the biocompatibility and long-term stability and effectiveness of the implants. Firstly, the porous structure part was parametrically designed, and the control of porosity gradient distribution was achieved by using the fitting relationship between porosity and bias and the position function of bias. In addition, the optimal distribution law of the porous structure was explored through mechanical and hydrodynamic analyses of the porous structure. Finally, the biomechanical properties were verified using simulated implant–bone tissue interface micromotion values. The results showed that the effects of marginal and central porosity on yield strength were linear, with the elastic modulus decreasing from 18.9 to 10.1 GPa in the range of 20–35% for marginal porosity, with a maximum decrease of 46.6%; the changes in the central porosity had a more consistent effect on the elastic modulus, ranging from 18.9 to 15.3 GPa in the range of 50–90%, with a maximum downward shift of 19%. The central porosity had a more significant effect on permeability, ranging from 1.9 × 10⁻⁷ m² to 4.9 × 10⁻⁷ m² with a maximum enhancement of 61.2%. The analysis showed that the edge structure had a more substantial impact on the mechanical properties. The central structure could increase the permeability more effectively. Hence, the porous structure with reasonable gradient distribution had a better match between mechanical properties and flow properties. The simulated implantation results showed that the porous implant with proper porosity gradient distribution had better biomechanical properties.

To address the issues of insufficient strength and poor precision in polystyrene forming parts during the selective laser sintering process, a ternary composite of polystyrene/glass fiber/hollow glass microbeads was prepared through co-modification by incorporating glass fiber and hollow glass microbeads into polystyrene using a mechanical mixing method. The bending strength and dimensional accuracy of the sintered composites were investigated by conducting an orthogonal test and analysis of variance to study the effects of laser power, scanning speed, scanning spacing, and delamination thickness. The process parameters were optimized and selected to determine the optimal combination. The results demonstrated that when considering bending strength and Z-dimensional accuracy as evaluation criteria for terpolymer sintered parts, the optimum process parameters are as follows: laser power of 24 W, scanning speed of 1600 mm/s, scanning spacing of 0.24 mm, and delamination thickness of 0.22 mm. Under these optimal process parameters, the bending strength of sintered parts reaches 6.12 MPa with a relative error in the Z-dimension of only 0.87%. The bending strength of pure polystyrene sintered parts is enhanced by 15.69% under the same conditions, while the relative error in the Z-dimension is reduced by 63.45%. It improves the forming strength and precision of polystyrene in the selective laser sintering process and achieves the effect of enhancement and modification, which provides a reference and a new direction for exploring polystyrene-based high-performance composites and expands the application scope of selective laser sintering technology.

The materials currently used for bone prostheses are mainly metals such as titanium alloy. Compared with human cortical bone, traditional metals exhibit high elastic moduli, which may lead to stress shielding. In contrast, the mechanical strength and elastic modulus of polyetheretherketone are slightly lower than those of human bone. In this study, we utilize multi-component co-modification in order to improve the mechanical properties of polyetheretherketone materials. Firstly, we blended three types of materials: multi-walled carbon nanotubes, nanohydroxyapatite, and carbon fibers. Then, the blended materials were used to reinforce polyetheretherketone, and the preparation of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes/nanohydroxyapatite/carbon fibers was described in detail. After the contact angle was determined, SEM, thermogravimetric analysis, and various tests were conducted on the ternary composites. Ball milling co-mingling technology was used to prepare tetrad composite specimens for tensile and compression experiments, a finite element model of the tetrad composite tensile and compression specimens was established, and the structural stresses of the specimens were analyzed under the specified loads. The experimental results show that the surface roughness of carbon fiber increased, and the multi-walled carbon nanotube/nanohydroxyapatite/carbon fiber/polyetheretherketone quaternary composites were well optimized in terms of strength and elastic modulus, which broadens the application field of polyetheretherketone materials.
