Thermal Behavior of Animal Bone: A Biomaterial Review
Abstract: Animal bone, a natural composite of collagen and calcium phosphate, exhibits distinct thermal behavior vital for biomedical applications. This review discusses specific heat, thermal conductivity, and diffusivity within the context of biomaterials science, focusing on their role in bone tissue engineering, implants, and thermal therapies. Earlier experimental findings are reinterpreted to highlight the influence of structure and composition on thermal response. By bridging classical studies and modern biomedical needs, this article provides a fresh outlook for researchers working on bone-mimetic materials.
Keywords: Animal bone, thermal conductivity, specific heat, bone cements, hydroxyapatite
