Functionalized composite cements for medical applications

Functionalized composite cements for medical applications.

This project is focused on the formulation of composite cements by associating neat and functionalized polymers. A particular interest in the grafting of the phosphate functions on these polymers has been established for an application in orthopaedics. These injectable cements with in situ hardening constitute a minimally invasive approach and thus offer a particular advantage over conventional synthetic implants for bone regeneration purpose.
