Аннотация:Implants based on biocompatible materials can be used for restoring the functions of damaged bone tissue and replacing the lost bones. When a polymer with viscoelastic mechanical properties is introduced into the materials, it is possible to create a composite material that could be reversibly deformed over wide range without significant stressing surroundings. In addition to the similarity of their chemical composition to that one of native bone, architecture of the material should facilitate the flow of biological fluxes, bone ingrowth (i.e., osteoconductive properties) and determine the required mechanical characteristics (strength/ stiffness).
