PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HYDROXYAPATITE/ COLLAGENBONE2LIKE BIOMIMETIC COMPOSITE

The preparation of biomimetic bone-like HAp/ Col composite by imitating in vit ro biomineralization andself-assembly process was investigated. Characterizations of the specimen indicate an even dispersion and preferredorientation of HAp nanocrystals on collagen mat rix , which confirmed a promising similarity of both composition andconfiguration to nature bone.
