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

Bioinert ceramics are a form of bioceramics that is characterized based on how they react biologically in the human body. Bioinert ceramics are often classified as biologically inert nature or bioinert ceramics that do not elicit a suitable reaction or interact with nearby living tissues when implanted into a biological system. In other words, exposing bioinert ceramics to the human environment will not cause any chemical interactions between the implant and the bone tissue. Bioinert ceramic materials have been used in the form of medical devices and implants to replace or reestablish the function of degenerated or traumatized organs or tissue of the human body due to their excellent chemical stability, biocompatibility, mechanical strength, corrosion restriction behavior, and wear resistance. Materials based on titanium, alumina, and zirconia are used in bioinert nanoceramics., In a biological environment, they are bioinert, fracture-tough, and have high mechanical strength. Because of their corrosion resistance, titanium and titanium-based alloys are widely used in bone tissue repair.
