An investigation into laser sintering of nano-hydroxyapatite coated powders for bone tissue applications

Exploratory routes were undertaken to deposit Nanoparticles (NPs) such as nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) onto control substrate particles namely Polyamide 12 (PA12) and biodegradable particles such as Poly Lactic Acid (PLA). This was to exploit the benefits of additive manufacturing for the production of...
