PLA/HAP composites have attracted significant attention in material science, especially in the field of biomaterials. However, these composites have suffered from unfavorable interface interactions between PLA and HAP interfaces, which limits the applications . In this study, we aimed to improve the interface interactions of PLA/HAP composite by modifying the HAP surface. For this purpose, HAP particles were functionalized with three different silane modifying agents, including (3-Aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (AMMO), (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GLYMO) and (3-triethoxysilyl)propylsuccinic anhydride (GF-20). The obtained modified HAP (m-HAP) were used to prepare PLA/m-HAP. Interface interactions of composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In addition, Vickers hardness tests were performed to reveal the effect of silane modifying agents on hardness before and after the in vitro degradation test.
