HA/HDPE Reinforced with MWCNTs for Bone Reconstruction and Replacement Application

The objective of this study is to demonstrate how the effect of adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanoparticles to the (Hydroxyapatite /High-density polyethylene) bio-composites. In this investigation, the samples with various percentages of ( MWCNTs) were fabricated by a hot-press technique. The morphological characteristics, roughness of the surface and thermal properties of the bio-composite samples (HA/HDPE/MWCNTs) were investigated. The excellent homogeneous distribution of the internal fibrous network and microstructure arrangements were among the most prominent characteristics obtained through FE-SEM and AFM examinations. The degree of crystallinity showed that the (MWCNTs) additives enhance by an increase of approximately (35%), compared with pure sample (without addition MWCNTs). Based on the experimental results obtained, the fabrication

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effect of adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanoparticles to the (Hydroxyapatite /High-density polyethylene) bio-composites. Samples with different percentages of (MWCNTs) were fabricated using a hot-press technique, and the morphological characteristics, surface roughness, and thermal properties of the bio-composite samples (HA/HDPE/MWCNTs) were analyzed. The experimental results showed that the addition of (MWCNTs) nanoparticles can enhance the crystallinity and improve the homogeneous distribution of the fibrous network in the samples.
