In response to the need for new materials for theranostics application, the structural and spectroscopic properties of composites designed for medical applications, received in the melt mixing process, were evaluated. A composite based on medical grade poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp) doped with Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions was obtained by using a twin screw extruder. Pure calcium Hap, as well as the one doped with Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions, was prepared using the precipitation method ...[more]
