Elastic Properties Investigation on Random and Ordered ZrO₂ Nanotube-Reinforced HA and β-TCP Biocomposites with Finite Element Approach

Figure 3

Elastic modulus E of random and ordered reinforced composites HA and β-TCP together with the H-T results affected by different doping (a) volume fraction of ZrNTs and (b) aspect ratio of ZrNTs. Where the grey background region is ZrNTs-HA for both random and ordered distribution, the white background region is ZrNTs-β-TCP for both random and ordered distribution.
