A biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP)–reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) hybrid bone plate is a new biomaterial, was made as a copy of a natural bone composition with the aim of a replacement for bone tissues. The HDPE/BCP hybrid bone plates were produced by replacing a mineral component and soft collagen tissue of bone with BCP and HDPE, respectively. HDPE/BCP hybrid bone plate was fabricated by a brander and heat pressings, using commercial granular HDPE and a different volume percentage of synthesized BCP nano-powder (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 vol%). Density, Vickers hardness, Young’s modulus, bending strength and tensile strength were obtained depending on the volume fractions. |
