Abstract
Biodegradable porous composites were fabricated from hydroxyapatite (HAp) and Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres for bone grafts. A novel surfactant-free emulsification method was employed for preparation of HAp/PLA microspheres containing hydrophobic material which was used as a substitute for therapeutic agents. The microspheres were molded into porous composite discs by use of PLA as a glue. Composites having hierarchically ordered structure were obtained from only biodegradable microspheres under the condition at ordinary temperature.
