| Research Abstract |
With the aim to fabricate artificial bone materials under environmentally mild conditions, we adopted lipase as catalysts and microwave system as an energy source for obtaining hybrid materials from hydroxyapatite and biodegradable polymers. We succeeded in polymerizing biodegradable polymers in porous HAp ceramics using microwave irradiation and obtain biodegradable polymer/HAp composites in short reaction times. By using various biodegradable polymers, mechanical properties and contact angles of the composites were controllable.
