PURPOSE:To provide a member for a living body having high strength, bio- compatibility and flexibility capable of conforming to the deformation of a bone, by bonding a fiber aggregate based on calcium phosphate to the surface of a high strength substrate composed of fiber reinforced plastic by polymethyl methacrylate. CONSTITUTION:As a high strength substrate 1, fiber reinforced plastic being a material having modulus of elasticity approximate to that of a human bone is pref. With respect to the material quality of a fiber based on calcium phosphate, one obtained by enhancing the crystallinity of the extrudate formed by extruding glass based on calcium phosphate from a mold is especially useful from the aspect of a manufacturing process. A member for a living body is prepared by a method wherein an exclusive curing catalyst is added to PMMA at first and after kneading, the mixture is applied to the surface of the substrate to form an adhesive layer 2 and the surface of the adhesive layer 2 is covered with a fabric to form a fiber aggregate layer 3 which is, in turn, heated to complete adhesion. |
