N2  - The adverse effects of stress shielding from the use of high-modulus metallic alloy bio-implant materials has led to increased research into developing polymer-ceramic composite materials that match the elastic modulus of human bone. Of particular interest are poly-l-lactic acid- hydroxyapatite (PLA/HA)-based composites which are fully resorbable in vivo. However, their bioresorbability has a deleterious effect on themechanical properties of the implant. The purpose of this study is to investigate, from a micromechanistic perspective, the in vitro degradation behavior of such composites manufactured using a simple hot-pressing route for two different hydroxyapatite particles
