The close match of stiffness between orthopedic implant material and bone is critically important to ensure fast healing of injured tissues. Here, we propose a design strategy to develop metallic materials possessing Young's modulus matching that of human bone using liquid metal dealloying (LMD). LMD is a process of selective dissolution of one or several elements from the solid precursor into the liquid metal, while the remaining elements simultaneously organize and form a porous structure. To demonstrate our strategy, we developed interpenetrating-phase Ti-Mg composites and microporous TiZr alloys by LMD. The Young's modulus of the microporous TiZr alloys is adjustable in a range of 3.2 to 15.1 GPa by controlling metal fraction. The Young's modulus of the Ti-Mg composites can be as low as 25 GPa. These low values of Young's modulus become interesting in a view of high yield strength of the microporous TiZr and the Ti-Mg composites reaching up to 480 MPa and 450 MPa, respectively. This strongly suggests opportunities as future advanced implant materials will significantly enhanced performance.
