The effects of the pressure, preheating temperature and heating rate were investigated on biocompatibility in vivo. The porosity in the synthesized products was in the range of 50.7–59.7 vol. %. The pressure, preheating temperature and heating rate were found to have an important effect on the biocompatibility in-vivo of the synthesized products. Max. fibrotic tissue within the porous implant was found in vivo periods (6 months), in which compacting pressure 100MPa.}, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {6}, year = {2013}, pages = {271 - 274}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/299}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/78}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 78, 2013}, }
