Ceramic Biomaterials: an Introductory Overview
A review of classes of biomaterials and their applications is presented. Particular interest is paid to bioceramics, calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite which are the leading biomaterials employed today. Several methods for producing hydroxyapatite are presented, including the characteristics and disadvantages of each methodology reported in specialized literature. The main trends of the mode...
متن کاملBio-inspired strategies for designing antifouling biomaterials
Contamination of biomedical devices in a biological medium, biofouling, is a major cause of infection and is entirely avoidable. This mini-review will coherently present the broad range of antifouling strategies, germicidal, preventive and cleaning using one or more of biological, chemical and physical techniques. These techniques will be discussed from the point of view of their ability to inh...
متن کاملTribological applications of biomaterials: an overview
Tribological research is the study of lubrication, friction, and wear. Tribology of biomaterials is to study how the materials work and fail. This will help us to produce better biomaterials. Tribology plays a very important role in improving the design and making successful biomaterials for medical purposes. Joints of human body, such as hip, knee, jaw, dental parts etc., all need to consider ...
متن کاملSynthesis of biomimetic segmented polyurethanes as antifouling biomaterials.
Controlling the non-specific adsorption of proteins, cells and bacteria onto biomaterial surfaces is of crucial importance for the development of medical devices with specific levels of performance. Among the strategies pursued to control the interactions between material surfaces and biological tissues, the immobilization of non-fouling polymers on biomaterial surfaces as well as the synthesis...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance: an overview.
Increased antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that are important pathogens of humans, and spread of resistance from the closed environment of hospitals into open communities are increasingly perceived as a threat to public health. Any antimicrobial use, whether in humans, animals, plants or food processing technology, could lead to bacterial resistance. Use of antimicrobials in livestock produ...
