          Abstract

          Our purpose was obtaining and characterizing a complex composite system with multifunctional role: bone graft material and hyperthermia generator necessary for bone cancer therapy. The designed system was a magnetite enriched collagen/hydroxyapatite composite material, obtained by a co-precipitation method. Due to the applied electromagnetic field the magnetite will induce hyperthermia and cause tumoral cell apoptosis. The complex bone graft system was characterised by XRD, FTIR and SEM, while the hyperthermia was quantify by measuring the temperature increase due to the applied alternative electromagnetical field.
