PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT IN COMPOSITE IMPLANTS FOR REPLACEMENT OF BONY TISSUE V. I. Dubkova , V. I. Alekseenko , O. P. Chudakov , A. V. Glinnik , and O. I. Maevskaya UDC 678.6:541.12.03:537.8 We developed "IKVOBAN-U" composite polymer implants to replace defects in bony tissue and fill large bone cavities. The presence of piezoelectric properties in the developed implants whose parameters are close to those of biological objects is revealed. Tests carried out on animals and the use of model media showed that the piezoeffect is preserved after prolonged holding in these media. JEPTER74920199915 JEPTER7492015
