Fibre reinforced composite materials in modern orthopedic medicine and prosthetics
Authors
Abstract
The implication of fibre reinforced composite materials for biomedical purposes has been conceptualized. In modern age, the advancement in the area of polymer composite materials has led to scientific and technological progresses in current orthopedic medicine and prosthetic devices. Thus Fibre Reinforced Composites (FRC) characteristically possesses a superior strength to weight features compared to monolithic materials and shows exceptional biocompatibility. Consequently they became universally promising material for hard- and soft-tissue applications as well as in the design of prostheses. Future orthopedic medicine expects the development of modernized materials for tissue engineering and metallic implants.
