Notes:
The effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on bending strength of calcium phosphate cement wasinvestigated. The cement composite powders, containing 0, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0wt% CNTsrespectively, were prepared by ball milling. It was found that the presence of CNTs improved the bendingstrength of the cement from 6.6 MPa to the best 10.5 MPa. The reason for mechanical propertyimprovement is related to the fibers (bars)-like microstructure of the reinforcing element, with CNT in thecore and hydroxyapatite crystals growing on it
