Apatite/Polymer Composite Materials with Fractal Rough Surfaces
We prepared an apatite/polymer composite material with a fractal surface by transferring the hierarchical rough surface of a plaster replica onto calcium phosphate paste and immersing the paste in a buffer. The rough structure (fractal dimension: 2.3) accelerated the spreading and penetration of a water droplet placed on the surface. This material can be applied in dental implants and texture testers.
