What is Coating Nanothickness Degradable Films on Nanocrystalline Hydroxyapatite Particles to Improve the Bonding Strength Between Nanohydroxyapatite and Degradable Polymer Matrix about?
## Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles are similar to bone apatite in size, phase composition, and crystal structure. When compared with micron‐size HA particles, nano‐HA possesses improved mechanical properties and superior bioactivity for promoting bone growth and regeneration. However, scaffolds fabricated from nano‐HA alone cannot meet the mechanical requirements for direct‐loading applications. A number of studies suggest that nanostructured composites may offer surface and/or chemical properties of native bone, and therefore represent ideal substrates to support bone regeneration. However, a common problem with nanohydroxyapatite (nano‐HA)–polymer composites is the weak binding strength between the nano‐HA filler and the polymer matrix since they are two different categories of materials and cannot form covalent bonds between them during the mixing process. Often, the mechanical strength of the composite is compromised due to the phase separation of the HA filler from the polymer matrix during the tissue repair process. To overcome this problem, an ultrathin degradable polymer film was grafted onto the surface of nano‐HA using a radio‐frequency plasma polymerization te
