18 Questions

1. It is any material that - once placed in the human body - has minimal interaction with its surrounding tissue.

2. Materials that upon placement within the human body starts to dissolve (resorbed) and slowly replaced by advancing tissue (such as bone) i.e. tricalcium phosphate - polylactic- polyglycolic acid copolymers

3. Type of biocomposites that consists of a matrix reinforced by a dispersed phase in form of particles.

4. These are used in artificial hip joints - dental implants - bone plates and screws - heart pacemakers - stents - and other medical devices.

5. They are materials formed by a matrix (resin) and a reinforcement of natural fibers (usually derived from plants or cellulose).

6. This type of biomaterial processing is only useful if it preserves the uniform porous structure of the original membranes.

7. It is an analytical device for the detection of an analyte that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector.

8. It functions as joint or tissue replacements - can be used as coatings to improve the biocompatibility of metal implants. They are also non - toxic and can be bioinert.

9. They are also known as renewable polymers and these are produced from biomass for use in the packaging industry.

10. A type of biopolymer with short polymers of amino acids.

11. Materials which upon being placed within the human body interacts with the surrounding bone and in some cases - even soft tissue i.e. Synthetic hydroxyapatite - glass ceramic A-W - bioglass

12. A type of biopolymer with linear bonded polymeric carbohydrate structures.

13. Type of biocomposites - a material which consists of voids/pores.

14. It is any substance (other than drugs) or combination of substances synthetic or natural in origin. It can be derived either from nature or synthesized in the laboratory using a variety of chemical approaches utilizing metallic components or ceramics

15. A type of biopolymer with long polymers composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers.

16. This involves the use of a binder or by using the thermal method to fuse the fibers together.

17. Also known as hard materials and it usually has a mechanical function - being strong - hard materials which use less energy for an organism to produce than an equally strong organic material.

18. Type of biocomposites that consists of a matrix reinforced by a dispersed phase in form of discontinuous fibers.
