Synthesis and Characterization of Parylene Based Composite for Bio Medical Application

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.
