Fabrication of nano-sized hydroxyapatite-coated microsphere and application to cell scaffold

Abstract

We have recently developed a novel nanocomposite for a soft-tissue-compatible material: the functional polymer substrate, whose surface was modified with nano-sized and calcined hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals through covalent linkage. In this presentation, we will report on the fabrication of nanosized hydroxyapatite-coated microsphere and its application to cell scaffolds.
