Biomaterials: The Intersection of Biology and Materials Science An extrusion technique was employed to fabricate a square polymer sample 4 cm X 4 cm X 0.5 cm. The extrusion process has resulted in the vast' majority of the polymer chains being aliened preferentially in one direction as shown. In which direction, then, should a tensile force be applied to the sample to result in the greatest resistance to the applied force? Why? Various biomaterials can be used for joint replacement applications, such as hip implants. Which of the three major types of biomaterials t & would you use for the femoral stem? Why? Would integration of the femoral stem with the surrounding tissue be an acceptable biological response? Why or why not?Explanation / Answer
There are three main types of materials used for stem cells.
a) Metal on metal (MOM)
b) Polythelene and metal on polythelene (MOP)
c) Ceramic on Metal (COM), Ceramic on ceramic (COC) and Ceramic on Polythelene (COP)
