Morphology of polycaprolactone/needle-shaped hydroxyapatite (PCL/HAN) nanocomposite blends using ultrasound assisted melt blending

Polycaprolactone/Hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) composite is an excellent material for fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds, especially as bone scaffolds. However, polarity differences between the hydrophilic HA and the hydrophobic PCL often leads to poor dispersion during the blending process. This is...
