| Abstract: | Reinforcement of ultra
high molecular weight polyethylene
(UHMWPE) by adding multiwalled carbon
nanotubes (MWCNT) allows improvement of
mechanical characteristics for biomedical
applications. However, there is controversy
when it comes to carbon nanotubes toxicity. Our objective was the in vitro study of UHMWPE/MWCNT. The results show good
biocompatibility of the nanocomposite,
comparable to results obtained by other authors. |
