## Abstract The clinical use of plasma‐sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on metal implants has been widely adopted because the HA coating can achieve the firmly and directly biological fixation with the surrounding bone tissue. However, the long‐term mechanical properties of HA coatings has been

## Abstract The selective laser sintering (SLS) technique was used to manufacture hydroxyapatite‐reinforced polyethylene and polyamide composites as potential customized maxillofacial implants. __In vitro__ tests were carried out to assess cellular responses, in terms of cell attachment, morphology
## Abstract Short carbon fiber reinforced composites could potentially replace some of the metal alloys used in orthopedic implants. In particular, polysulfone and, more recently, polyetheretherketone have been considered as the matrix material for carbon fiber reinforced composite implant material
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has excellent biocompatibility and bone bonding ability, but it is mechanically weak and brittle. To overcome this problem, we prepared a graded composite with calcium phosphide (CaP, decomposed from HAP during sintering) coating on the surface of zirconia (ZrO 2 ) ceramics. The
