Hydrothermal nanocrystalline powders are examined to establish the formation of self-reinforced and multilayer composites with high strength and bioinert implants of femoral heads resistant to ageing processes in the human body. The results serve as a scientific basis for microstructure design of fine-grained ZrO2-based composites in the ZrO2–Y2O3–CeO2–Al2O3 system with high strength and other properties.enZrO2–Y2O3–CeO2–Al2O3 systemnanocrystalline powderself-reinforced compositemultilayer compositesurgical scalpelbioimplantArticle
