Carbon fiber for artificial bones and joints

At present, carbon fiber composite materials have been widely used in bone fixation plates, bone filler, hip joint stalks, artificial implant roots, skull repair materials, and artificial heart materials. The bending strength of human bones is about 100Mpa, the bending modulus is 7-20gpa, the tensile strength is about 150Mpa, and the tensile modulus is about 20Gpa. The bending strength of carbon fiber composite is about 89Mpa, the bending modulus is 27Gpa, the tensile strength is about 43Mpa, and the tensile modulus is about 24Gpa, which are close to or beyond the strength of human bone.
