Abstract

The medical profession has a long history of evolutionary stages, one of which is the introduction of medical implants more than centuries ago. The modern world is expanding in every element in the twenty-first century, including the medical field. Because of their versatility, biocompatibility, and ease of production, polymeric materials are employed in a wide variety of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and thermal applications. Because of this behaviour the various materials are mixed to form the composites. These composites are both stable and biocompatible. In order to protect the embedded system of the implanted device from moisture and ions inside the human body, polymers with high gas permeability and water vapor permeability are frequently utilised to package implanted devices. Additionally, polymeric composites need to be confining the implants during the anticipated lifetime and they should have high tensile strength.
