Novel poly(butylene succinate) nanocomposites containing strontium hydroxyapatite nanorods with enhanced osteoconductivity for tissue engineering applications

Three series of poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu) nanocomposites containing 0.5, 1 and 2.5 wt% strontium hydroxyapatite [Sr5(PO4)3OH] nanorods (SrHAp nrds) were prepared by in situ polymerisation. The structural effects of Sr5(PO4)3OH nanorods, for the different concentrations, inside the polymeric ma...
