In Situ Crystallization of Hydroxyapatite on Carboxymethyl Cellulose as a Biomimetic Approach to Biomass-Derived Composite Materials
Yui Okuda, Ryosuke Shigemasa, Ken Hirota, T. Mizutani
Abstract
. Since the composite has a higher flexural strength than polyamide 6 (92 MPa) and a higher elastic modulus than polyamide 6 with 40 wt % glass fiber (5.5 GPa), it can be used as new tough biomass composite material to replace petroleum-derived engineering plastics.
