Biodegradable materials for implants are created in the laboratory of the Eurasian REC at UGATU

In the youth laboratory of the Eurasian REC "Metals and Alloys under extreme impacts" of the CCP "Nanotech", under the leadership of a young professor Elena Korznikova, opened at Ufa Aviation University, a participant of the Eurasian REC, in cooperation with the Institute of Physics of Advanced Materials, scientific research is being conducted to create new bio-soluble metal materials for medicine.

Young scientists Elvira Fakhretdinova and Elvira Hafizova are developing new zinc materials that can be used for the manufacture of implants, namely, for stents and orthopedic plates. In the production of implants made of biodegradable materials, there is no need for repeated surgery and anesthesia, which are indicated when using conventional metal spokes and screws. Over time, the implants will be absorbed and absorbed by the body without harm to health.

Elvira Hafizova chooses the optimal composition of materials, examines their functional properties and microstructure, and her namesake and colleague is engaged in computer modeling of intensive plastic deformation processes to determine rational conditions for processing new materials.

We hope that a scientific breakthrough in the field of medical implants will occur in the near future.
