The novelty consists in the development of a customized implant obtained by combining reinforcements made by material addition (Additive Manufacturing technology), with uncontrolled/controlled (lattice type) porous metallic structure, and applying a new viscous polymeric biocomposite by injection. The penetration of the composite in the reinforcement will be achieved in a silicone rubber mold manufactured by Rapid Tooling technology (RT). This method allows obtaining any anatomic shape. The porous metallic structures (contact regions and reinforcement), as well as the non-metallic ones (biocomposite) of the new implant will allow the mass integration of anti-inflammatory or anti-tumor drugs before the surgical intervention. The implant will reproduce as well as possible the characteristics of the human bone. </div> <div>         The research has a novelty character both at national and international level. Solving such a problem means an important step towards the development of a new implant generation. On the other hand, this research facilitates an interdisciplinary cooperation between engineers, chemists and physicians with the aim of obtaining a new implant with high biocompatibility, superior physical and mechanical properties as compared to classic implants, with a decreased weight and allowing a quicker osteo-integration.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Descrierea proiectului:</B></div> <div>        <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > Proiectul prezintã proiectarea ºi fabricarea implanturilor personalizate din materiale biocompozite armate cu structuri metalice. Noutatea constã în dezvoltarea unui implant personalizat, rezultat prin combinarea armãturilor, fabricate prin adãugare de material (tehnologia Additive Manufacturing), cu structurã metalicã poroasã necontrolatã ºi/sau controlatã (de tip lattice) ºi aplicarea unui nou biocompozit polimeric vâscos prin injectare. Pãtrunderea compozitului în armãturã se va realiza într-o matriþã din cauciuc siliconic realizatã prin tehnologii de fabricaþie rapidã a sculelor (Rapid Tooling), fapt ce asigurã obþinerea oricãrei forme anatomice. Structurile poroase metalice (zonele active ºi armãtura) ºi nemetalice (biocompozitul) a noului implant vor permite integrarea în masa lui, înainte de protezare, de medicamente antiinflamatorii sau antitumorale. Acest implant va reproduce în cât mai mare mãsurã caracteristicile osului uman.</FONT></div> <div>         Cercetãrile au un caracter de noutate nu numai naþionalã dar ºi internaþionalã. Soluþionarea unei astfel de probleme înseamnã mult pentru o nouã generaþie de implanturi. Pe de altã parte, aceastã cercetare deschide calea unor colaborãri interdisciplinare care va implica ingineri, chimiºti ºi medici. Astfel, în final se va obþine un nou implant cu o biocompatibilitate ridicatã, cu proprietãþi fizico-mecanice superioare unui implant clasic dar cu o greutate mult redusã ºi care va permite un proces de osteointegrare mai rapid.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
