Abstract
Tensile and shear properties were determined for hydroxyapatite reinforced poly-ethylene composites (HAPEX) for medical applications. Properties of talc or alumina filled polyethylene were also obtained. Hydroxyapatite particles of different median sizes and morphologies were used to reinforce the polyethylene. Furthermore, chemical coupling of hydroxyapatite to polyethylene was investigated. The obtained results are discussed in terms of possible use as orthodontic materials.
