**For biomedical applications, zirconia‐toughened alumina ceramics** (see Figure) would be very appropriate materials, provided that the zirconia content is kept below the percolation threshold (upper limit of 16 vol.‐% 3Y‐TZP inside an alumina matrix). That the concept of a percolation threshold is
## Abstract A new generation of bio‐derived ceramics can be developed as a base material for medical implants. Specific plant species are used as templates on which innovative transformation processes can modify the chemical composition maintaining the original biostructure. Building on the outstan
