Ceramics and Composite Materials

Bio-Ceramics – Healthcare Innovations

Bio-Ceramics – Healthcare Innovations involve ceramic materials engineered for medical applications, including implants, prosthetics, bone scaffolds, and dental restorations. Materials such as hydroxyapatite, zirconia, and bioactive glasses demonstrate biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and corrosion resistance. Bio-ceramics support tissue regeneration, load-bearing applications, and long-term stability in physiological environments. Surface modification, porosity control, and additive manufacturing enhance cell adhesion, vascularization, and mechanical performance. Applications include orthopedic implants, dental crowns, joint replacements, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Integration with stem cell therapy, drug delivery systems, and regenerative medicine enables functional recovery and personalized healthcare solutions. Characterization techniques assess mechanical strength, bioactivity, and degradation behavior. Research focuses on improving longevity, reducing inflammatory responses, and achieving multifunctional performance. Bio-ceramics bridge materials science and healthcare, enabling durable, functional, and safe medical solutions. Their ability to combine structural support with biological compatibility makes them essential for advancing medical devices, implants, and regenerative therapies.
