Abstract

Abstract : In article number 2002438, Xiaochun Bai, Zhihui Lu, Jian Yang, and co‐workers, strategically use multi‐functional tannin to bridge inorganic and organic phases of composite materials in orthopedic biomaterial design. By adhering to the inorganic phase, hydroxyapatite, and chemically reacting with the organic phase, citrate‐based polymers using tannin, the citrate‐based tannin‐bridged bone composites present greatly improved compression strengths, significant antimicrobial properties, and enhanced biomineralization and osteoconductivity for in vivo lumbar fusion.
