Fabrication and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposites Based on Bacterial Cellulose with Surface Modification

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, biomimetic synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposites based on bacterial cellulose (BC) with sodium alginate (SA) surface modification was studied. The results showed that SA treatment promoted the apatite nucleation ability of BC in SBF solution. The FE-SEM images demonstrated that HAp nanoparticles were successfully formed in the three dimensional nanofiber network of BC. FTIR spectra indicated that the obtained HAp crystals were partially substituted with carbonate, which were very similar with natural bones. It was also found that both of crystallite size and crystallinity of HAp crystals observed from XRD pattern were very low. The resultant nanocomposites consisted of nano-scale HAp crystals and SA treated BC nanofibrous have great potential application in bone tissue engineering.
