Characterization of Biodegrdable Polymer and Calcium Phosphate Nanocomposite for Orthopaedic Application

Calcium phosphates (CaP) have excellent biomaterial properties due to their similarity to the inorganic component of the bone matrix. However, their clinical applications are restricted because of inherent brittleness and poor shape ability2. To capitalize the advantages and overcome drawbacks of CaP, it is combined with biodegradable polymer (e.g. polylactic acid, polycaprolactone) to generate biocomposite material. Calcium phosphate and biodegradable polymer composites have received a great deal of interest in orthopedic and dental applications, which is attributed to their good osteoconductivity, biodegradability and high mechanical strengths.
