Abstract:
Bone fracture is very common problem now a day. Implant materials used in this regard are
usually 316-L or titanium alloys that provide mechanical support to the fractured area but have
no or little contribution in the biological process of bone healing. Parylene has been increasingly
use for medical applications such as insulation of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and
Microelectrode Array. Parylene has unique mechanical and surface properties along with
corrosion resistance that has also made it a potential candidate to be used as a scaffold. Surface
modified parylene films have been recently use as a scaffold for bone healing process and gave
very promising results. The purpose of this study is to synthesize surface modified parylene base
composites for bone implants and performed the surface and biological characterization.
