## Abstract A functionally graded implant was developed to substitute the function of the skull for geometry and for protection of the brain. The implant consists of polylactide/amorphous calcium phosphate as mechanically stable external structure and of polylactide/calcium carbonate as porous inte
## Abstract The thermoโmechanical analysis of some novel, totally bioactive, threeโcomponent composite systems intended for the repair and augmentation of bone has been performed. The composites are composed of hydroxyapatite (HA), particulate reinforced biodegradable polylactic acid (PDLLA), with
Sterilization of degradabl e implant s by standard procedures may damage the parts due to the labile chemical nature of the polymers. This study examined whether the injection molding process used for the production of polymeri c parts may itself sterilize the implant due to high temperature , press
