Characterization of bending behavior of hydroxyapatite/biopolymer porous composite beams

In this work, porous composite beams of HA/PLLA and HA/PLCL were developed using a combination of the template and freeze-drying methods. Their compositions were examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Their bending mechanical and fracture properties were characterized under the three-point bending condition. Their microstructures and the micro mechanisms of deformation and fracture were also...
