What is it about?

Biocomposites represents new advanced biomaterials for alloplastic bone grafting. The success of bone grafting using engineered biomaterials consists in optimal combination between materials and processing technologies to obtain improved biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical properties related to the internal architecture appropriate to the cortical or trabecular bone tissue.

Why is it important?

Innovative hybride biocomposites are produced using two steps sintering simultaneously with solid-state foaming techniques. Trabecular bone tissue grafts may be elaborated with requested mechanical properties for such tissue.

Perspectives

The goal of the entire research is to produce small/medium-sized and complex-shaped alloplastic bone grafts, fulfilling mechanical and functional characteristics related to the cortical or trabecular tissue. Considering the critical necessity, as quantity, quality and delivery time, for such products claimed by the civil and military hospitals, these new alloplastic bone grafts may be produced on users benefit, in advantageous technical-economical terms.
