Evaluation of mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite-silver nanocomposite for dental engineering applications
Hydroxyapatite bioceramic has low bactericidal and mechanical properties, especially fracture toughness, which may limit its common use in medicine. This study aims to prepare composites of nanoparticles from hydroxyapatite and silver nanoparticles as reinforcements. The composites were fabricated at several concentrat...
