Preparation of porous nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composites for bone repair

BACKGROUND: Compared with dense bone repair materials, porous materials has lower intensity, but its three-dimensional porous network structure can ensure a larger surface area that is more conducive to cell adhesion, growth and division as well as nutrient transmission.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preparation and performance of porous nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composites.METHODS: Porous nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composites were prepared using chemical foaming method, and different composite bone repair materials were made by regulating foaming agent amount and nano-hydroxyapatite content. Mechanical properties, porosity and composition of the composite bone repair materials were detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Porous nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composites were substantially tubular  channels, and had relatively good connectivity and uniform distribution, with a pore size of 260-400 μm, porosity of 35%-57%. Foaming agent amount, nano-hydroxyapatite content and density of composite materials all are influential factors of the total porosity. Porous nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composites have better mechanical properties and compressive strength than the cancellous bone, and the foaming agent has no influence on its shape, composition and diffraction peaks.
