Mechanical properties and SEM images of iCMBA/HA composites. Compressive strength (A), modulus (B), and strain at failure (C) of as-prepared samples after 2, 24 and 48 hrs; Stress-strain curves (D) of iCMBA/HA composites measured through compressive mechanical testing of as-prepared samples 48 hrs after preparation. Compressive strength (E) and modulus (F) of freeze-dried and air-dried samples. # p>0.05, * p<0.05, ** P<0.01. (G) SEM images of freeze-dried and air-dried iCMBA-P200 D0.3-HA70% (iCH70) composites.
