Current research in biomaterials
encompasses physical, chemical and biological aspects of ceramic, metal,
polymer and composite materials. Recent studies have investigated the
strengthening mechanisms of dental
ceramics and the development of new ceramic materials, the metallurgy and
structure-property relationships for high-palladium alloys, the synthesis and
characterization of polymeric materials for use in composite resins and glass
ionomer cements, the esthetic characteristics of restorative and natural dental
materials, the formulation of direct dental composite restorative materials
based on optimum clinical performance, and the interactions of fibroblasts and
epithelial cells with dental materials. Studies originating in the Biomedical
Engineering Center have evaluated a copolymer formulation of bone cement for
orthopedic implants. Research techniques employed include analytical and
descriptive spectrometry, analytical electron microscopy, cell culturing, human
visual evaluation, mechanical testing, rheology, thermal analysis (including
calorimetry and thermomechanical analysis), and x-ray diffractometry.
