Titanium Foams Prepared by Using Carbamide as Spacer for Cortical Bone Implant

Article Preview

Abstract:

Titanium (Ti) foams used in biomedical application has been attracted scientific and technological interest because of their excellent mechanical properties, superior corrosion resistance and good biocompability. In this article, Ti foam with semi-open cell was prepared using the acicular carbamide as a space holder without any adhesives. The pore structure was characterized by SEM and the mechanical properties were determined by compressive tests. The results show that the porosity is 56.8%, the compressive strength and Young’s modulus are 104.6 MPa and 2.9 GPa, respectively. These results demonstrated that the obtained foam has a great potential as a substitute biomaterial for cortical bone.
