Abstract

Bakar je esencijalni element koji se u ljudskom organizmu nalazi u mikro koncentraciji, a neophodan je za normalno funkcioniranje ljudskog organizma. Povišena ili smanjena koncentracija bakra u organizmu dovodi do raznih poremećaja koji posljedično mogu uzrokovati teške bolesti i otkazivanje organa, a ponekad i smrt. Bakar je jedan od najkorištenijih metala koje čovjek upotrebljava u svim sferama svoga života. Zbog važnosti uloge bakra u tijelu sve veći broj istraživača posljednjih godina pokušava iskoristiti povoljne učinke bakra za razvoj novih biomedicinskih materijala za dobrobit ljudskog tijela.
U ovom završnom radu opisana su svojstva bakra te postupci njegovog dobivanja. Također su navedeni ekološki aspekti proizvodnje kao i utjecaj implantiranog bakra na zdravlje ljudi. Isto tako opisana su antimikrobna svojstva bakra u medicinskim implantatima, a na samom kraju navedena je sama upotreba i trajnost implantiranog bakra.

Abstract (english)

Copper is an essential element found in the human body in microconcentration, and is necessary for the normal functioning of the human body. An increased or decreased concentration of copper in the body leads to various disorders that can consequently cause serious diseases and organ failure, and sometimes death. Copper is one of the most used metals that man uses in all spheres of his life. Due to the importance of the role of copper in the body, an increasing number of researchers have been trying to use the beneficial effects of copper in recent years to develop new biomedical materials for the benefit of the human body.
In this final paper, the properties of copper and the procedures for obtaining it are described. Environmental aspects of production as well as the impact of implanted copper on human health are also listed. The antimicrobial properties of copper in medical implants are also described, and at the very end, the use and durability of implanted copper is stated.
