Biodegradable polymers play a significant role in medical applications, especially internal
devices because they can be broken down and absorbed into the body without producing …

Osteoconductive ceramics (OCs) are often used to endow polylactic acid (PLA) with
osseointegration ability. Conventionally, OC powder is dispersed in PLA. However …

This study investigates the fluoride release, rechargeability and degradation behaviors of
newly developed anticariogenic poly (lactic acid)(PLA) composites. The PLA composite with …

Magnetic fields (MF) have been proven efficient in bioaugmentation, and the internal MFs
have become competitive because they require no configuration, despite their application in …

The brittle behavior of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and PLA composites with inorganic filler limits
their applications; the addition of a toughening agent, such as a rubbery phase, was …

The drawbacks associated with metallic implants, like stress shielding and revision surgery,
can be avoided using bioabsorbable implants. Hence, in this work, biocomposites made of …

This work aims to enhance the mechanical properties, oil resistance, and thermal properties
of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) by using the Nile tilapia fish scales as a filler and …

Fish scale waste can be used as a precursor of hydroxyapatite (HAp). In this work, HAp was
extracted from white seabass (Lates calcarifer) scale waste by using an alkali heat …

Orthopedic issues related to bone repair and regeneration are common and difficult.
Biodegradable polymer composites containing hydroxyapatite can solve this issue by …
