Researchers from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Shipbuilding at the Gdansk University of Technology and students from the Scientific Association ,,Materials in Medicine” are working intensively on new biomaterials for minimally invasive surgery. As many as three scientific projects are currently underway with the Centre for Materials of the Future.
In the ARGENTUM project ‘Injectable nanocomposite for an instantaneous fixation of titanium implants in a bone with effective antibacterial properties’, the research team is working on an innovative bone adhesive for the rapid fixation of implants in bone tissue.
In the projects: TECHNETIUM , ‘Development of a new magnesium phosphate-based bone cement dedicated as a degradable bone substitute’ and PLUTONIUM , ‘Development of a new injectable ceramic-polymer bone cement’, student research groups have been set up to produce a new generation of magnesium phosphate-based medical cements and composite cements.
