Biodegradable Biopolymer and Calcium Phosphate Composites Manufactured via Impregnation Method

Bioresorbable materials are promising candidates in the field of bone regeneration. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) are one of the most used implant materials in the reconstructive surgery to repair damaged hard tissues1. 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 polylactic acid (PLA) to generate biocomposite material
