Abstract :
The diffusion phenomenon of metallic atoms in porous structure has been investigated with the aim to establish the most suitable process for obtaining an uniform impregnation. Different materials as: Fe, Mg, K, Ag, Au in a variety preparation condition were experimented, with applications in biology. Put into the human body, under the skin, the PS matrix with metals will be resorbable, slowly releasing these minerals.
