Synthesis and Characterization of Nano Hydroxyapatite with Polymethyl methacrylate Nanocomposites for Bone Tissue Regeneration

A. Ragu, P. Sakthivel

Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is effectively used as a bioimplant material because it closely resembles bone apatite and exhibit good biocompatibility. The synthesis of HAp/PMMA nanocomposite has been prepared by wet chemical method. HAp/polymer nanocomposites are instances of these materials that can be used as bone cement, filling bone defects, coating of joint replacement prosthesis and dental implants. Several investigations have been studied on HAp/poly methylmethacrylate (PMMA) as potential bone cement. This material was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and TG/DTA.

Keywords: FTIR, XRD, TEM, TG/DTA and PMMA
