Developing of piezoelectric bio-active implants for bone modeling/remodeling process

Within the scope of this research the simulations are supported by experimental measurements in cooperation with correlated projects including “New Materials for implant systems for bone regeneration”. Based on findings on the relationship between di- and piezoelectric properties and surface potentials, a model for the simulation of bioactive implants shall be developed and their influence on bone-forming (osteoblasts) and bone-resorbing (osteoclasts) shall be studied.
