Abstract
The invention provides thermoplastic materials for biomedical applications through the processing of soybean de-fatted Tofu cheese. The material films show a relatively high degree of water uptake from the dry state as well as good tensile strength and elastic modulus when tested in wet conditions. The materials minimise in vitro the humoral and cell-mediated inflammatory response, promote the formation of calcium phosphate crystals and undergo a slow degradation in buffer systems. Adhesion and proliferation of tissue cells are favoured by this natural composite material.
