TY - JOUR T1 - Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite / Zeolite Nanocomposite for Medical and Dentistry Applications A1 - Fereshteh Khorasani A1 - Maryam Khavarpur A1 - Mohamad Shokrzade Lamuki JF - specialty journal of chemistry JO - SPEC. J. CHEM. SN - 2521-3164 Y1 - 2019 VL - 4 IS - 1 SP - 9 EP - 19 N2 - Bone is a real nanocomposite which is formed of two organic (collagen) and inorganic (nano-hydroxyapatite) phases. The construction of new composite as bone and tissue substitute is one of the notable topics in bone and tissue engineering. In this study, nano-hydroxyapatite and its composites, including 2.5, 5 and 7.5% (w/v) zeolite were synthesized. XRD and FTIR tests were utilized to investigate the crystal structure and determine the functional groups, respectively. Considering the XRD test, nano-composite of hydroxyapatite-zeolite has more crystallinity compared to the pure hydroxyapatite. Finally, according to the results, the use of 7.5% zeolite for the synthesis of nano-composite of hydroxyapatite-zeolite is recommended as a bone substitute.
