Functionalized carbon nanotube as a reinforcing scaffold for mineralization of bone tissue: A mechanical model

Based on the idea of bone mineralization and formation on chemically functionalized carbon nanotuebes (CNTs), a representative volume element of hydroxyapatite (bone mineral phase ) aroun a CNT is considered to determine its mechanical response to exial loading.
