Preparation of polyoxymethylene/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites by melt processing
Source abstract
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is one of the most attractive materials for bone implants due to its compositional and biological similarity to native tissues. Bone is an inorganic–bioorganic composite material consisting mainly of collagen proteins and HAp, and its properties depend intimately on its nano-scale structures.
