A novel hydroxyapatite-wollastonite/silk fibroin (AW/SF) composite was prepared for bone repair and replacement by a modified coprecipitation method. The wollastonite powders introduced in the composite were sintered with full crytallinity and ground to the diameter of 30–50 nm. The FT-IR and XRD analyses showed that the silk fibroin, wollastonite, and hydroxyapatite co-existed in the composite, but the newly formed hydroxyapatite had low crystallinity ascribing to the low temperature procedure. The composite exhibited both higher compressive strength (84.4 MPa) and Barcol hardness (48.5) than the hydroxyapatite/silk fibroin (HA/SF) composite without any wallostonite involved. And the composite in this work showed excellent bioactivities while held in simulated body fluid (SBF).

In order to improve corrosion stability and biocompatibility of titanium surfaces, hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAP) has been used as coating material due to the fact that it possess similar chemical composition as bone tissue. Lignin?s (Lig) usage in medical applications could be interesting because it could lead to thermal stability, hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability of different materials. Bioceramic hydroxyapatite/lignin (HAP/Lig) coatings on titanium were obtained from ethanol suspension by electrophoretic deposition method. The uniform and compact HAP/Lig coatings were deposited at constant voltage of 60 V for 45 s and sintered at 900?C in argon atmosphere. The corrosion stability of sintered HAP/Lig coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37?C was investigated by open circuit potential-time measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The greater values of open circuit potential, as well as EIS results, indicated improved corrosion resistance and good corrosion stability of HAP/Lig coatings in simulated body fluid at 37?C .

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the structural, thermal, optical and biocompatibility properties of poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)/organo-modified nanohydroxyapatite (OM-nHAp) nanocomposites synthesized by solvent intercalation method. The characterization of PAA/OM-nHAp nanocomposites was made by different techniques. SEM and TEM results showed that OM-nHAp particles were dispersed in the nanoscale into PAA matrix and that they were uniformly distributed within film. Glass transition temperature of PAA increased with OM-nHAp content. Ultraviolet (UV) absorbance experiments showed that PAA had a higher UV transmission than its nanocomposites. The biocompatibility of nanocomposites was also examined in simulated body fluid.
