Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene have been widely used to toughen bioceramics such as 45S5 Bioglass® (45S5) and hydroxyapatite (HA). However, it remains a challenge to homogeneously disperse them in the matrix and achieve adequate interfacial strength. In this thesis, two approaches have been su...
