Article Synopsis
- Hydroxyapatite (HA) has limitations in fracture toughness and flexural strength, hindering its use as an implant material in biomedicine.
- The study improved HA composites by incorporating boron nitride nanoplatelets (BNNP) and using spark plasma sintering, resulting in finer grain structure and enhanced mechanical properties.
- Although the Weibull Distribution indicated reduced mechanical reliability, the BNNP-reinforced composites maintained a low probability of failure and a safety factor comparable to human bones.
