Summary[edit]
| Description |
Metallurgical studies are being conducted in the Center for Materials Science to determine the effects of surface treatments of metals on the interface problems or strength of metal and polymer material interfaces in joint prosthesis. This research is needed for the development of standards for medical and surgival devices. To develop such standards, NBS is working with manufacturers, government research and regulatory agencies, standards organizations, surgeons and the public. Dr. Anna C. Fraker, materials scientist, is shown with a laboratory sample of a metal hip replacement prosthesis. The trend towards the use of implants in younger, and more active patients, requires that the metals and other materials have a high resistance to corrosion and fatigue. |
