Phosphate glass fibre reinforced composite for bone repair applications: investigation of interfacial integrity improvements via chemical treatments
Bone repair devices made from degradable polymers, such as poly lactic acid (PLA) have limitation in terms of matching the mechanical property requirements for bone repair, both initially and for the duration of repair. For this reason the use of totally degradable phosphate glass fibre (PGF) reinfo...
