ELECTROSPUN APATITE/POLYMER NANO-COMPOSITE SCAFFOLDS

摘要

An artificial bone composite structure is provided. This structure includ es a fibrous matrix that itself includes a plurality of fibers. Also, the st ructure includes a plurality of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles. These particl es are dispersed within the fibrous matrix. Also, the HA particles have cont rolled size and aspect ratios and are aligned along long axes of the fibers. In some instances, the fibers include poly-(L-lactic acid) (PLLA).
