The Use of Radiation in Biomedical Engineering
and
metals, paper,
Radiation can be used for the synthesis and modification of
biomedical engineering materials, such as external apparatus,
artifical kidneys, soft tissue substitutes, artificial arteries,
artificial heart valves. By using radiation to make these
materials, the process is simple, chemical initiators are not
required. They can be made at low temperatures, and they can be
sterilized during the process of synthesis. Hydrophylic materials
with a high mechanical strength can be made, such as contact
and silicon rubber which is compatible with living
Artificial windpipes can be manufactured. A composite
of acrylic acid and aluminium oxide prepared by
radiation can be used for the root tooth transplanting, lower
mandible and other oral materials or for skeletal reconstruction.
