Nanomaterial innovation might end up replacing human tissue in cosmetic and facial reconstruction surgeries

in #engrave4 years ago

European scientists state they've created a rubbery nanomaterial that consistently blends in with the human body.

This could potentially user in a new age for facial reconstruction surgeries.

The nontoxic material, described by researchers at Chalmers University in Sweden is said to be made of the material used in making plexiglass.

The analysts set out to make a bone substitution material, yet found that by controlling it spot on at the nanoscale — that is a billionth of a meter — it took on a rubbery surface that they accept could supplant ligament in everything from joints to prosthetic noses.

A new organization called Amferia has been created by the scientists behind this innovation in a bid to make it go mainstream.
