Abstract:

The report will present examples of composite material research projects in the biomedical field, which were carried out by the Centre for Advanced Composite Materials at the University of Auckland, as well as the achievements and challenges in basic research and application projects. The report will cover (1) composite material manufacturing technologies and process development, including liquid composite molding, rotational molding, roll forming, and machining; (2) the development of micro/nanofiber composite materials and their new applications in manufacturing, packaging, and biomedical applications; (3) polymers and polymer composites for biomedical applications.
