    A series of polylactic acid/hydroxyapatite/graphene oxide composite (PLA/HA/GO) were fabricated via solution blending and casting method using N, N-dimethyl-formamide (DMF) and CH2Cl2 as mutual solvents. The physicochemical properties of the resulting composites were characterized by means of FT-IR, SEM, TEM, Raman spectra, XRD and N2-physisorption. Particularly, the thermal stabilities, hydrophobic and mechanical properties of PLA/HA/GO composites were systematically investigated. The influences of GO content on thermal stabilities, hydrophobic and mechanical properties of the composites were also evaluated. The results showed that the addition of GO and HA not only improved the thermal stability of PLA, but also improved the hydrophobic property of PLA-based composites. By compared with the PLA/HA/GO composite, the tensile strength of pristine PLA is slight high. The tensile strength and hardness of PLA/HA/GO composites increased with the increase of GO content. The obtained PLA/HA/GOcomposite may be a promising material for load-bearing orthopedic implants. (C) 2017 The Ceramic Society of Japan and the Korean Ceramic Society.
