POLYMERIC MATERIALS

摘要

A method of making a material, for example a porous material for a medical implant or part thereof comprises: (a) providing a mixture of polymeric material and filler material in a mould; (b) heating the mixture in order to melt the polymeric material; and wherein the material in the mould is subjected to a pressure of less than 2MPa during step (b). The filler material may be removed so that a porous material, defined by the polymeric material remains.
