Carbon nanotube-based bioceramic grafts for electrotherapy of bone
Graphical abstract
“Smart” conductive materials are expected to accelerate bone healing while electrical stimulated due to the increased confinement of the stimuli at the bone defect. A three-dimensional analysis shows controlled size CNT agglomerates homogenously distributed in a bioceramic matrix. This CNT arrangement is closely correlated to the functional properties of the composite.
