Mechanical properties of biomaterials

Monika Hans

Materials that are utilized for biomedical or clinical applications are known as biomaterials. The following articledeals with 5th generation biomaterials that are utilized for bone structure replacement. For any fabric to be categorised for biomedical application three requirements must be met. The 1st requirement is that the fabric mustbe biocompatible; it intends that the organism should not treat it as a foreign object. Secondly, the fabric should be biodegradable (for in-graft only); the fabric should harmlessly degrade or dissolve in the body of the organism to permit it to renew commonplace functioning. Thirdly, the fabric should be mechanically sound; for the replacement of load bearing structures, the fabric should possess the same as or better mechanical stability to make sure elevated reliability of the graft.
