Abstract
A detailed study has been undertaken of the anisotropic mechanical behaviour of oriented hydroxyapatite reinforced polymer composite (HAPEX^TM). The oriented material was produced by hydrostatic extrusion of isotropic HAPEX^TM. It was found that the tensile and shear moduli and strengths of the oriented HAPEX^TM are substantially increased compared with isotropic HAPEX^TM. In particular, the properties along the extrusion direction exceed the lower range of the properties of cortical bone, showing that the oriented HAPEX^TM is suitable for use in skeletal major load bearing applications.
