Synthesis and Modification of Hydroxyapatite Nanofiber for Poly(Lactic Acid) Composites with Enhanced Mechanical Strength and Bioactivity

To enhance the bioactivity of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), a potential bone repair material, without the lowering of mechanical strength, hydroxyapatite (HA) was introduced in the form of nanofibers as the filler for application in spinal implant materials. HA nanofibers (HANF) with aspect ratio as high...
