The current findings not only shed light on the micromechanisms dictating the impact response in the microstructures studied, but are also encouraging with respect to the use of NbZr in orthopedic and dental implants.NanoscienceNanotechnologyMaterials sciencesMultidisciplinary design optimizationMetallurgyChemical engineeringJournal ArticleN/A301557500005Q18496
