Investigation of the In Vitro Degradation of a Novel Polylactide/Nanohydroxyapatite Composite for Artificial Bone

We prepared the poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) composite and investigated the in vitro degradation of pure PLLA material and PLLA/n-HA composites in order to identify a suitable and ideal artificial bone tissue repair material. The water uptake, weight loss, and changes in the P...
