Morphological characteristics of the surface of TI (a) and HA-PLLA (b). SEM images show the surface differences between two materials. The surface of Ti appeared relatively smooth, and micropores (arrowheads) were found in some places on Ti. The surface of HA-PLLA appeared relatively rough, and interspersed white particulates, which seemed to be HA crystals (arrow), were visible in some places.
