The Laboratory offers expert support and specialized work in the broad area of biomedical and biomimetic materials. Employees involved in the Laboratory provide special assistance in biological assessment of biomaterial suitability, estimation of biomaterial viability, assessment of causes of degradation, development of biomaterial manufacturing technologies, oxidation of metallic biomaterials, application of hydroxyapatite.
The laboratory conducts research and implementation work on bioactive endoprostheses with prolonged life, personalized implants, self-lubricating knee joint endoprosthesis, composite implants for bone components. A workstation for rapid prototyping of titanium alloy by selective laser remelting of the powder layer makes it possible to prepare personalized implants, i.e. implants that will exactly fit the patient's leg or gums.
Purpose:
- manufacture of components from titanium and its alloys and stainless steels, including dental implants, solid or porous, with dimensions up to 100 mm, involving the design of the part and its manufacture by rapid prototyping by selective melting of powder with a laser beam
- production of ceramic coatings, in particular phosphate and hydroxyapatite coatings on metals and their alloys, including in particular implants, by chemical and electrochemical methods
- fabrication of oxide layers of nanotube structure on titanium and its alloys, especially on implants, as well as oxide layers by electrochemical method on other metals
- study of corrosion processes, especially corrosion of biomaterials
