Biodegradable Composite Implants

Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2006
Biodegradable implants are established in the field of operative sports medicine. So-called composite implants are increasingly used. The idea to improve biocompatibility and osteoconductivity of biodegradable polymers by modifying them with a ceramic component, has led to the development of these composite implants.

Biodegradation paths of Mater‐Bi®/kenaf biodegradable composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2013
AbstractComposites obtained from biodegradable polymers and natural–organic fillers are attracting increasing interest, thanks to the environmental advantages they promise. On the other hand, the real biodegradation performance of a biodegradable polymer/natural organic filler composite should be assessed by performing specific biodegradation tests ...

Biodegradable Composite Materials (Review)

Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020
Studies on polymer composites based on polyolefins (polyethylene; polypropylene; their mixtures; propylene–ethylene, ethylene–vinyl acetate, and ethylene–octane copolymers) and various natural compounds were reviewed. The reviewed studies analyzed the influence of various factors on the formation of the biodegradable properties of polyolefins.

Polymer Composites with Biodegradative Properties

Polymer Science, Series D, 2019
The results of experimental studies of the mechanical and operational properties of carbon fiber when introduced with biologically active filler, in our case, bifidobacterin, are presented. It was found that, at a content of biologically active filler of up to 4%, the rate of biodegradation processes increases and the mechanical characteristics ...

Biodegradable Hydroxyapatite-Polymer Composites

Advanced Engineering Materials, 2001
The fracture of bone due to trauma or due to natural aging is one of the most frequent types of tissue failures. Treatment frequently requires the implantation of a temporary or permanent prosthesis. The implanted materials may include the components of artificial joints, plates, and screws for fracture fixation.

Biodegradability and crude oil composition

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1974
Four crude oils (Prudhoe Bay, Norman Wells, Atkinson Point, and Lost Horse Hill) of different chemical composition were tested as to their biodegradability under mesophilic and psychrophilic conditions. Changes in bacterial numbers and chemical composition of the oils were monitored using a plate count and chromatographic technique respectively ...

Biodegradation of Bagasse Fiber Reinforced Biodegradable Composites

Key Engineering Materials, 2007
Biodegradable composites made from bagasse fiber and biodegradable resin were prepared and the biodegradation were investigated by the soil burial test in terms of the effects of fiber content, alkali treatment to bagasse fiber and different soil. The biodegradable resin showed some extent biodegradation.
