Abstract This paper presents the interaction comparison of poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) with hydroxyapatite derived from Spanish Mackerel (SM) and Whitefin Wolf Herring (WWH) bones, in different processing method. PVA filament and solution casting method illustrated higher crystallinity in the FTIR graph as compared to the PVA pellet and filament extrusion method. Besides, minimal interactions between PVA with glycerol and HAp was observed as well. PVA pellet and solution casting method portrait higher interaction as compared to the PVA filament and extrusion method. As for the HAp of SM and WWH, WWH had higher crystallinity and better cell adhesion with a higher Ca/P ratio while SM had relatively better mechanical strength with Ca/P ratio near to stoichiometric value. The loading of HAp (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30%) does not affect interactions of PVA/HAp composite in FTIR, and thermal properties in TGA. However, it caused an increase in crystallinity at low HAp loading and decreased at higher loading of HAp above 10%. Upon addition of HAp, tensile strength increased and elongation at break decreased. As the loading of HAp increased, both mechanical properties decreased. Scaffold with WWH composite possessed lower tensile strength and higher elongation at break than SM composite. The result of mechanical properties corresponded to the SEM result. ANOVA analysis justified the effect of HAp variations and loading on the mechanical properties of the composite was prominent.

The purpose of this work was to produce nanocomposites of polylactic acid with oph-POSS (octaphenyl-Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes)-based biodegradable polyester and study morphology, thermal stability and degradation property. Oph-POSS was synthesized via limited-hydrolytic condensation of phenyl trimethoxysilane catalyzed by tetramethylammonium hydroxide. By adding different mass fractions of oph-POSS into the PLA matrix, oph-POSS/PLA nanocomposites were successfully prepared by the solution casting method using chloroform as solvent. SEM(scanning electron microscopy) observations indicated that oph-POSS were homogeneously dispersed in the PLA matrix. The biodegradation rate of oph-POSS/PLA composites was higher than that of neat PLA, moreover, the degradations of neat PLA and oph-POSS/PLA composites underwent the surface erosion mechanism. It was found that the existence of oph-POSS enhanced thermal stability slightly of nanocomposites relative to neat PLA; however, the thermal degradation mechanism of PLA remained unchanged.
