Truliant Porous is designed to reduce micromotion and aid potential bony in-growth.
In addition, Truliant Porous includes a combination of porous pegs and a channeled keel with flutes that are designed to increase bony-implant engagement and micromotion resistance, and the integrated bone screw fixation options allow for intra-operative stability.
As porous media can significantly intensify the mixing of fluid flow and increase the contact surface area with fluid inside, it has been regarded as an effective way to enhance heat transfer by using porous media [4].
Based on this idea, [H.sub.2][O.sub.2]/[H.sub.2]O mixtures with different [H.sub.2][O.sub.2]/[H.sub.2]O ratios were used as the pore-forming agent to prepare porous ceramics.
[24, 25] utilized polymer and silica particles to assist in preparing honeycomb porous films through BF method.
Anodization of silicon in hydrofluoric acid solution is considered the best technique to form homogeneous porous structures reproducibly, although other methods have also been reported, such as stain etching [15], galvanic etching [16], metal-assisted chemical etching [17,18], and contactless electrochemical etching [19].
In semicrystalline polymers, it is often difficult to obtain porous structures at temperatures far below the melting point, since the gas does not dissolve in the polymer crystallites [6].
