Preparation and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite-Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Composites Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals

Hydroxyapatite/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Hap/PVA) composites have been proposed as a promising biomaterial for use in articular cartilage repair. In this study, HAp/PVA composite gels reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were prepared using the freeze/thaw method. The influence of CNC as a reinfo...
