<p>Impacts of a Nano-Laponite Ceramic on Surface Performance, Apatite Mineralization, Cell Response, and Osseointegration of a Polyimide-Based Biocomposite</p>

Abstract

Incorporation of LC into PI obviously improved not only surface physicochemical properties but also biological properties of LPCs. LPC40 with high LC content displayed good biocompatibility and bioactivity, which markedly promoted osteogenesis and osseointegration. Therefore, with its superior biocompatibility and bioactivity, LPC40 could be an alternative candidate as an implant for orthopedic applications.
