| Summary: | Thermally stimulated current spectroscopy has been applied to the investigation of molecular mobility in human calcified tissue. A comparative study of extracts and residues at various stages of demineralization is presented. Results show that: the matrix (collagen) is in a glassy state at physiological temperature; the filler (apatite) increases the static modulus; the interfaces/interphase (non-collagenous proteins and particularly proteoglycans) ensure cohesion and ductability for the composite. Biomaterials for orthopaedic prostheses require the same morphology in order to phenomenologically reproduce the same dynamic behaviour. |
