<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sintered material as a biomaterial having high mechanical strength and bio-compatibility, easy to be penetrated, fixed, and grown by an osteoblast cell, etc., in its pore, and having a porous structure easy for a living body to be metabolized therein, and its manufacturing method. <P>SOLUTION: This sintered material as a biomaterial comprises a porous structure with its pore non-spherical and communicating and has a porosity of 50-90%. In this manufacturing method, a powder of an inorganic material is mixed with a polymerizable monomer, the monomer is polymerized after foaming into a porous polymer, and the porous polymer is sintered while it is kept deformed by applying stress. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
