Ceramic filled polymer matrix composite used for bio-medical application

Abstract EN

Synthetic polymers such as polyurethane are used widely in the field of biomedical applications such as implants or part of implant systems.

This work focuses on the preparation of base polymer matrix composite materials by (Hand Lay-Up) method, and studying the effect of selected weight fractions (3, 6, 9, 12, 15) % wt of Calcium oxide (CaO), Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), Magnesium oxide (MgO),and Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) particles on some properties of the prepared composite.

Some mechanical tests were used to evaluate the prepared system (Tensile, Compression, Impact, and Hardness) tests, and a physical test of (Water absorption %), and all tests were accomplished at room temperature.

maximum results of tensile strength, compression strength, impact energy, hardness, water absorption were ( (31 MPa), ( 51 MPa), ( o.265 J), (79.8 Shor (D)), (0.229 %)) at using ( (9 % wt (MgCO3)), (9 % wt of (MgCO3)), (9 % wt of (CaCO3)), (15 % wt of (MgO)), (15 % wt of (MgCO3)) respectively.
