With an ever ageing population, there are an increasing number of patients requiring medical devices, such as artificial joints and dental implants to enable everyday activity. An improvement of current implants will offer tremendous benefits. In particular, there is an urgent need for technologies to improve the fixation of implants/devices in bone without infection occurring. These will contain doped nano-sized bioactive glass to enable strong integration with bone and anti-microbial properties. The proposed project has 4 key deliverables: 1- Synthesis of novel nano- materials by state of the art manufacturing processes; 2- Development of optimum formulations with these novel materials; 3 Selection of optimum coating technique for application onto implant substrates and 4- Biological testing of coated implant prototypes.

随着人口老龄化，越来越多的患者需要医疗设备，如人工关节和牙科植入物，以实现日常活动。对现有植入物的改进将带来巨大的好处。特别是，迫切需要技术来改善植入物/装置在骨中的固定而不发生感染。这些材料将包含掺杂的纳米生物活性玻璃，以实现与骨骼和抗微生物特性的强大整合。拟议的项目有4个关键交付成果：1-通过最先进的制造工艺合成新的纳米材料；2-利用这些新材料开发最佳配方；3-选择最佳涂层技术应用于植入物基质；4-涂层植入物原型的生物测试。
