Development of Titanium Based Biocompatible Materials with Controlled Porosity

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is dedicated to the development and optimization of the porous titanium materials suitable for biomedical usage in traumatology. Main aim of the presented research activities is focused on preparation of biocompatible titanium based materials with controlled porosity. It was found that titanium specimens with total porosity approximately 40 % revealed mechanical properties very similar to those of human cortical bone. Two-layer specimens with controlled porosity were prepared and tested by electron microscopy for post-sintering cracks. All tested specimens with controlled porosity were cracks free. Future works will include preparation of geometrically more complicated shapes, machining and in vitro cells proliferation testing.
