Vascularization of Nanohydroxyapatite/Collagen/Poly(L-lactic acid) Composites by Implanting Intramuscularly In Vivo by Hai Wang, Xiao Chang, Guixing Qiu, Fuzhai Cui, Xisheng Weng, Baozhong Zhang, Xiaojie Lian, Zhihong Wu

“…In previous studies, a nanohydroxyapatite/collagen/poly(L-lactic acid) (nHAC/PLA) composite, similar to natural bone in both composition and structure, has been prepared. It could repair small sized bone defects, but they were restricted to repair a large defect due to the lack of oxygen and nutrition supply for cell survival without vascularization. …”

Mechanical Properties of New Composite Wood-Plastic Formworks with Aluminum Alloy Frame by Kairong Shi, Jiebin Xu, Zhengrong Jiang, Junfeng Lv, Yonghui Lu

“…Experimental investigation shows that the two types of wood-plastic formworks demonstrate favorable performance, and the deflections and stresses are within the allowable range, thereby satisfying the structural bearing requirements. Numerical analyses confirm that the results of the refined and general finite element models are consistent with the experimental results, but the former has a higher accuracy. …”
