Abstract
⺠Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and hydroxyapatite nanorods (nHA) are used as hybrid fillers to reinforce polypropylene. ⺠MWNT additions are beneficial in enhancing tensile strength and stiffness of PP/nHA composites. ⺠Hybridizing MWNT with nHA fillers enhance thermal and dimensional stability of PP significantly. ⺠Hybridizing MWNT with nHA greatly enhance osteoblast adhesion and proliferation. ⺠PP/MWNT-nHA composites show attractive applications as load-bearing materials in orthopedics
