| Title | Modified Porous Polymers with Enhanced Biocompatibility for Implants and Tissue Engineering Applications |
| Knowhow is available for | Surface modified porous polyethylene biomaterial which promotes cell growth and prevents microbial infections for applications in biomedical implants and tissue engineering. |
| Summary | A novel surface modification process developed by NCL scientists resulted in a pPE biomaterial that promotes cell growth in implants and increases its compatibility in the body. This novel material provides sustained anti-microbial action which helps in reducing the risk of infection development. This material can also function as a reservoir and can be used in making implants with drug eluting features. |
| Advantages | • This novel biomaterial promotes cell growth.
• Biomedical implants made from this material have increased compatibility in the body.
• Anti-microbial action of this biomaterial reduces risk of infection and implant rejection.
• This material functions as a reservoir and can be used for making drug eluting implants.
