POLY (DIOL CO-CITRATE) HYDROXYAPATITE COMPOSITE FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING AND ORTHOPAEDIC FIXATION DEVICES

摘要

The present invention is directed to a novel poly(diol citrates)-based bioceramic composite materials created using completely biodegradable and a bioceramic material polymers that may be used in implantable devices. More specifically, the specification describes methods and compositions for making and using bioceramic composites comprised of citric acid copolymers and a bioceramic material.
