Processing and properties of PLA-HA nanocomposites: the effect of particle morphology and dispersants
(The University of Nottingham, 2016-03-31)
The load bearing capacity of biodegradable polymeric medical devices remains limited; an improvement in mechanical properties is desirable to widen the range of applications. Incorporation of nanoparticles is explored to ...
Compounding and rheometry of PLA nanocomposites with coated and uncoated hydroxyapatite nanoplatelets
(The University of Nottingham, 2015-06-15)
This is the research data for polylactic acid and novel nanoplatelets of hydroxyapatite (HANP) that were compounded in a laboratory scale twin-screw extruder and injection moulded to shape. The effect of HANP loading ...
