Accelerated degradation of HAP/PLLA bone scaffold by PGA blending facilitates bioactivity and osteoconductivity

The incorporation of hydroxyapatite (HAP) into poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) matrix serving as bone scaffold is expected to exhibit bioactivity and osteoconductivity to those of the living bone. While too low degradation rate of HAP/PLLA scaffold hinders the activity because the embedded HAP in the PLLA...
