Degradation behaviour of PLLA-Calcium carbonate composites for orthopaedic applications

Bioresorbable polymers are used extensively in a wide range of medical applications, including orthopaedic fixation devices and bone scaffolds. They have excellent mechanical properties and the fact they do not· require removal roves advantageous over other materials. However, a relatively slow degr...
