Abstract. Neutron activation analysis has been utilized to determine the presence of undesirable elements in biocompatible osseous polymer fibers (BOP-F). This material is used as osseous tissue substitute in bone damage. The analysis was carried out using thermal neutrons. A short and long irradiation schemes were applied during analysis. Na and Br were found in the samples whose ratio is close to ratio found in human corporal fluids.
Resumen. Se utilizó la técnica de Análisis por Activación con Neutrones para determinar la concentración de elementos nocivos en
fibras de polímero biocompatible con tejido óseo (BOP-F). Este material se emplea como sustituto cuando se produce daño a nivel del hueso. El análisis se realizó utilizando neutrones térmicos. Durante el análisis, las muestras se irradiaron bajo dos esquemas de tiempo, corto y largo. Se encontró que las fibras de BOP contienen Na y Br cuya razón es similar a la que existe en los fluidos del cuerpo humano.
