Abstract

The basic problem while designing composite materials for medical application is:proper selection of reinforcement (strengthening phase) ,matrix and their kind of manufacturing.Biomaterials of submicrocrytalline sintered corundum ceramics (reinforcement) covered with bioactive glass(CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system-as a matrix) can be used as one of possibilities in invasive medicine. The influence of kind of manufacturing (sintering,sintering with densification) on the bioglass composite properties is examined.

The following technique are used:

-for densification bioglass composite describing: zeta potential;

-for morphology and bioglass composite structure describing:SEM,EDX,XRD;

-for certein physico-mechanical properties describing: microhardness test,strengthening test,wetting test,adhesion force after SBF immersion.
