Ceramic-polymer nanocomposites for bone-tissue regeneration

Politecnico di Torino, Department of Applied Science and Technology, Cor o Duca degli Abmzzi 24, Torino, Italy [Pg.331]

This chapter reviews biomedical grade ceramic-polymer nanocomposites, focussing on their impact and recent trends in the field of bone grafting and bone-tissue regeneration. [Pg.331]

The design of an ideal bone graft that emulates bone s own structure and behaviour is stiU challenging. Owing to the composition and structural similarity to natural bone, most of the current investigations focus on nanocomposites, and particularly on the hydroxyapatite-collagen system. [Pg.331]

ECM provides mechanical support and serves as reservoir of minerals, particularly calcium and phosphate. Bone is a key example of a dynamic tissue, because it has a unique capability of self-regenerating and self-remodelling to certain extents. [Pg.332]
