Abstract

When choosing adequate materials for applications that require implantation in living organisms, knowing their properties is fundamental. Hence, for implants dedicated to bone tissue replacement, advanced mechanical properties and biocompatibility are key targets, while for blood vessel implants the key requirements are the surface properties and especially the chemical composition. On the other hand, if a material is used as a contact lens or intraocular lens, the optical properties—primarily the transparence—will become the main criteria for the selection of the material.
