Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube composite coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). AISI 316L stainless steel and ethanol were used as substrate and dispersing medium, respectively. 5%wt carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as reinforcing phase. Uniform and macrocrack-free coatings were obtained both for hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-5%wt CNT coatings. Scanning electron micros...

Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube Nanocomposite (HA-CNT) coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Hydroxyapatite was synthesized via microwave combustion method using calcium nitrate and glycing as starting materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that pure hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been synthesized. AISI 316L s...

Nanofibrous scaffolds produced by electrospinning have attracted much attention, recently. Aligned and random nanofibrous scaffolds of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and nanohydroxyapatite  (nHA) were fabricated by electrospinning method in this study. The composite nanofibrous scaffolds were subjected to detailed analysis. Morphological investigations revealed that the...

ABSTRACT. Nano hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) and its composites have shown a great development in the field of tissue regeneration controlled drug delivery due to good biocompatibility bioactivity behavior. Furthermore, HAp-based nanocomposites enhance mechanical properties. These synthetic HAp can also be tailored fabricate scaffold with porosity which facilitate growth cell engineering. In this pape...
