Abstract
''Bioceramic-titanium nickelide'' functional composites are proposed a nd investigated. It is shown that the incorporation of an alloy (titan ium nickelide) possessing superelasticity and shape memory enhances th e strength properties of the composite while the porosity through the material needed for the ingrowth of living tissue is maintained. These composites are biocompatible and exhibit a property similar to the su perelasticity characteristic of living tissue. (C) 1997 American Insti tute of Physics. [S1063-7850(97)01704-7].
