U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Bioceramic Implant Materials

根据这项合作研究奖，伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校化学系的Luke Hanley博士将与澳大利亚悉尼科技大学材料科学系的Besim Ben-Nissan博士合作，通过应用先进的表面分析和生物材料工程方法，开发、分析和测试新的生物陶瓷骨科植入材料。将研究两种类型的种植材料：1)由大堡礁珊瑚样本制成的珊瑚种植体和2)羟基磷灰石包被的种植体，这些种植体经骨细胞生长因子处理。

9724688 Hanley Under this collaborative research award, Dr. Luke Hanley of the Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois-Chicago, will cooperate with Dr. Besim Ben-Nissan of the Department of Materials Science, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia to develop, analyze, and test new bioceramic orthopedic implant materials through the application of advanced methods of surface analysis and biomaterials engineering. Two types of implant materials will be studied: 1) coralline implants made from coral samples from the Great Barrier Reef and 2) hydroxyapatite coated implants which have been treated with bone cell growth factors.
