Abstract

Abstract Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene and Titanium Dioxide composites were developed as alternative materials for orthopaedic applications. The amount of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) incorporated into the Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (PTFE) polymer matrix with the ranges of 5%, 10% and 15% of weight proportion and these materials were successfully fabricated by compression moulding. In this research work the density, compression strength, bending strength and hardness of composite materials have been determined. Above test results are compared with currently used orthopaedic implants and they are found satisfactory.
