Project funding
149 988.73 EUR, including 75 000.00 EUR RSU funding and 74988.73 EUR RTU funding
Project manager
Jeļena Eglīte, Jānis Ločs (RTU)
Project realization
15.02.2016. - 28.02.2019.
Aim
Research objectives: develop synthesis technology for amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (with surface area exceeding 150 m2/g) and production method of nanostructured ceramic aggregates, produce calcium phosphate ceramic aggregates with the sizes from 0.3 to 1.4 mm and surface area exceeding 50 m2/g
The project aims at developing two innovative technologies
1. The technology related to the development of implantable material production technology that could be applied in dentistry and plastic surgery
2. The diagnostic complex aimed at detecting immunogenetic markers prior to implant use in patients which will allow the developing of the method for patient-specific implantable material selection
