Bioactive composites PHB/HA - 2a

Collaborators: Z.B. Luklinska and W. Bonfield

Morphology of the interface between biodegradable / bioactive PHB/HA composite and bone.

SEM image of the interface between PHB/40%HA composite and bone, in vivo study. Degrading polymer exposes HA bioactive filler particles, and encourages new bone to form in contact with the composite.
