Biomaterials
• Biomaterials science may be the most multidisciplinary of all the sciences which encompasses aspects of medicine, biology, chemistry, engineering and materials science.
• Biomaterials are : “Non-viable materials used in a medical devices intended to interact with biological systems” [D.F. Williams, 1987]

Biomaterials: Examples• Joint replacements • Bone plates • Bone cement • Hip Joint• Artificial ligaments and
tendons • Dental implants for
tooth fixation • Blood vessel prostheses • Heart valves • Skin repair devices • Cochlear replacements • Contact lenses

Implants – An X-Ray View
New After 10 years
Gap
Bone is resorbed when not stressed.
A gap forms around the blade of the insert.

• 50,000 hip replacements (arthroplasties) in Britain each year.• Hydroxyapatite porous coatings in orthopaedic prostheses: Bioactivity, Osteoconductivity.• Problem: Infections in orthopedic surgery (10% of cases)

Computer-Aided Design of Vasculature
We need a structure which will be space saving, strong and yet porous to allow growth of blood vessels…
Learn from nature and use a HONEYCOMB structure

3D Printing of Biocompatible Molds
Layers of wax and scaffold material build up in 3D

3D Printing of Biocompatible Molds The wax is dissolved at high pressure and low temperature in liquid carbon dioxide…
…this leaves a porous Scaffold

Why collagen?• It is the ideal scaffold material:
is an important ECM molecule and is the major structural component in the body.
posses ideal surface for cell attachment in the body.
biocompatible and degrades into harmless products that are metabolized or excreted.
a very poor antigen , non-toxic.

Collagen processing• This technique allow
the control over pore size and porosity.
• Achieved through variation of freezing temperature and collagen dispersion concentration
Dry collagen scaffold

Advantages of Scaffold formation
• Control of the external structure:
