Calcium phosphates (CaP) have excellent biomaterial properties due to their similarity to the inorganic component of the bone matrix. However, CaP clinical application is restricted due to their inherent brittleness and poor shepe ability. To capitalize the advantage of CaP and overcome some drawbacks, CaP is combined with polylactic acid to generate highly porous biocomposite materials. polylactic acid has good mechanical properties and low toxicity.
