Abstract
null null The hydrophobicity of the poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) surface was modified by incorporating hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystalline particles during the electrospinning process for the engineered scaffold applications. The HAp nanocrystals were synthesized with 30 nm in diameter and 100–120 nm in length, which subsequently formed micrometer-sized agglomerates in the range of 2.5 μm. The synthesized HAp agglomerates were electrospun in the...
