Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Polymer-based biomaterials are a material of choice for many surgeons due
to their availability and durability. Many types are available on the market, but the
search for improved properties to cater to technology demands, such as 3D printing,
continues. Polyamide, to be used as an alternative in craniofacial reconstruction, has
been a subject of interest recently. This chapter explores the physical and mechanical
properties of polyamide composites fabricated viainjection moulding and 3D printing
techniques along with their biocompatibility. With promising physical, mechanical, and
biocompatibility properties, polyamide composites are expected to emerge as an
alternative biomaterial for craniofacial reconstruction soon.
