Ural and Austrian Scientists Studied Multicomponent Nanomaterials For Bone Implants

Description

Researchers at the Ural Federal University and the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with specialists from the Graz Technical University (Austria), studied how additives affect the properties of nanocomposite materials, in particular, hydroxyapatite, the basis for bone implants. It turned out that, depending on the amount of additives, the effect of the annealing temperature changes: it determines the intensity of oxidation and defect formation.

The study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project No. 20-03-00675), the results were published in the journal Ceramics International.
