Abstract

The composition flexibility for polymers provides them with their unique characteristics, but their low mechanical strength cannot withstand the stresses required in many applications. The use of biodegradable polymer scaffolds for the regeneration of bones is limited and challenging. These polymers lack a mechanically biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HAp) inorganic phase.
