Abstract
Recent interest in advancement of biomaterials and their implant applications is well known. In the last five decades, great advances have been made in the field of biomaterials, including ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites, glass-ceramics and metal alloys. A variety of bio implants are currently used in body implantation. In the present study, ISO Polymer and crab shell derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) have been selected to develop composites by hand lay-up method targeted for degradable implant applications. Composite was successfully developed with various fractions of crab shell powder (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) & e-glass fiber was composed to prepared hybrid polymer composites. HAp powder reinforced hybrid polymer composites, SEM studies and mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength and impact strength) were determined as per ASTM standards. The higher mechanical properties were obtained at 15% Crabshell powder particulate composite. The introduced Crab Shell (HAp) enhances bio mineralization and promotes rapid healing rate in the bio medical implants applications.
