<i>In Situ</i> Hydroxyapatite Synthesis: Influence of Collagen on Its Structural and Morphological Characteristic

Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesized in situ by the precipitation method, with and without the presence of collagen (COLL), to study its influence on HA’s structural and morphological characteristics. The material was characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Ca/P molar ratio was influenced by collagen addition—1.89 and 2.38 for samp… Show more

“…Furthermore, precipitation in simulated body fluid has such a low yield and long reaction time that it would not be practically feasible for large scale production. Similarly there are many reports on collagen mediated mineralization like Mendes et al where a temperature of 80˚C for approximately 40 min was required for the synthesis [39]. We are not the first to report biomimetic synthesis of HA.…”

“…Nanoscience can be applied in different fields such as pharmaceutical, agricultural, medical and industrial fields. Gelatin is a soluble polypeptide protein derived from insoluble collagen, which is the most abundant protein in animal skin and bone [2, 3]. Gelatin is classified according to the method of separation: type A gelatin is derived from acid‐cured tissues and type B is derived from lime‐cured tissues.…”
