Bioactive Ceramic-polymer Composites for Tissue Replacement
نویسنده
چکیده
Bone, at the ultra-structural level, is a composite with mechanical properties that can be matched by man-made composites. It serves as the template for developing bone replacement materials. Research on biomaterials analogous to bone was started in the early 1980s by incorporating bioactive particles into biocompatible polymers in order to produce bone substitutes. Hydroxyapatite reinforced high-density polyethylene (HA/HDPE) is one of such materials and has been successfully used in human bodies. In this chapter, the structure and mechanical properties of bone are firstly reviewed. The production, structure, properties of HNHDPE composites are then presented. Their biological performance is discussed subsequently, and examples of their clinical applications are given. Using the same or similar manufacturing processes, other bioactive composites have also been developed for tissue substitution or tissue regeneration.

متن کاملA Review on Importance and Recent Applications of Polymer Composites in Orthopaedics
The idea of using composite in bone implant came since 1980 . Considering the observed problems and failures from the previous materials, using composite materials with higher strength and stiffness and more similarity to natural bone had started to develop. In medical composites at least one of the constituent materials should be bioactive (metal-polymer or ceramic). The name of composites is ...
متن کاملBioactive ceramic-reinforced composites for bone augmentation.
Biomaterials have been used to repair the human body for millennia, but it is only since the 1970s that man-made composites have been used. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced polyethylene (PE) is the first of the 'second-generation' biomaterials that have been developed to be bioactive rather than bioinert. The mechanical properties have been characterized using quasi-static, fatigue, creep and fra...

Prime task for orthopedists and traumatologists is the development of new artificial materials for replacement of osseous tissue and cartilage defects, for functional rehabilitation of the injured locomotorium tissue after traumatic fractures and surgical interventions. Electron beam (EB) processing of polymer composites with bioactive ceramics was used for manufacture of new artificial materia...
متن کاملAn investigation on Mechanical Properties of Apatite-Wollastonite-Diopside Glass-Ceramics Composites
Apatite-wollastonite (A-W)-phlogopite glass-ceramic is considered to be difficult to resorb, but often, it has been incorporated in particulate form to create new bioactive composites for potential maxillofacial applications. With various compositions, the present work has attempted to prepare apatite-wollastonite (A-W)-phlogopite glass ceramic composites, by applying sintering. Here, three-poi...
