What are the design principles of biomedical composites?

The selection of component materials of biomedical composite materials requires that biomedical composite materials be designed according to the application requirements, which are composed of matrix materials, reinforcing materials or functional materials. The properties of composite materials will depend on the properties and content of component materials and the interface between them. Commonly used matrix materials include medical polymers, medical carbon materials, bioglass, glass ceramics, calcium phosphate-based or other bioceramics, medical stainless steel, cobalt-based alloys and other medical metal materials. The reinforcing materials include carbon fiber, stainless steel and titanium-based alloy fiber, bioglass ceramic fiber, ceramic fiber and other fiber reinforcements, as well as zirconia, calcium phosphate-based bioceramics, bioglass ceramics and other particles.
