Assessment of the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Injection-Molded Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate)/Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles Parts for Use in Bone Tissue Engineering

In the present study, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-<i>co</i>-3HHx)] was reinforced with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) to produce novel nanocomposites for potential uses in bone reconstruction. Contents of nHA in the 2.5–20 wt % range were i...
