Biocompatibility of monoelementary carbon polymer prepared for the soft and hard tissue implantation

Abstract

Glassy-like carbon to be applicable in two amas of advanced technology:

1—as Source of sp³ organizad carbon orbitals in HP/HT diamond synthesis [1].

2—as chamically inert parts for implantation in surgery [2].

For first application the temporatwe of carbonization proam should be lower thau 1300 K, for the second one higher than 1300 K (the best −1473 K). Usefafnercr of dense body for surgery prepared by us was analysed on: as heart valves and as parts for face-skull restoration. Biocompatibility was tested in soft tisrue of ratrr, pig8 and dogs. Positive results have shown that such a body may be applicable as biomaterial.
