- Title
Dynamics of Bone Tissue Mineralization in Porous Titanium and the Mechanical Properties of a Titanium–Bone Tissue Composite.

- Abstract
We studied the dynamics of bone tissue mineralization in the pores of a titanium matrix and the mechanical properties of the resulting titanium-bone tissue composite. It is shown that the mineralization process is virtually accomplished within six months after implantation of a porous titanium article into the organism. As the pores and channels in the titanium matrix are filled with bone tissue, the material becomes a composite with mechanical properties higher as compared to those of the porous implant or bone tissue.
