Analysis of orientation behavior in extruded tricalcium phosphate/poly(lactic acid) composite billet using finite element method and chain network model

The poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) composite attracts much attention as a material for a bone fixation device because both have bioabsorbability. However, the applications of the composite bone fixation device are limited to low-loaded regions because of lower strengths. In this...
