Study of the Resistance to Degradation of Al2O3/Al2TiO5 Composites for Possible Use as Bone Tissue

In this work we studied the response to degradation of Al2O3/Al2TiO5 composites in a Hanks’ solution, which simulates human synovial fluid in contact with bone tissues. Electrochemical impedance study determined that the resistance to polarization of composite rises with increases in the amount of Al2TiO5 and with the sintering time.

METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE LIFE CYCLE PROCESSES OF SCAFFOLDS

Due to the increase in diseases in the musculoskeletal system, regenerative medicine is now developing various bone substitutes. Not all scaffolds, due to their shortcomings, are applied for every application. Patients should be provided with basic product information and other warnings about health risks or measures to be taken. From the establishment of the purpose of the biomaterial to apply, several stages of the life cycle can pass. To ensure the biocompatibility of medical devices, there is a legislative framework and standards.
