“…Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) has been widely used as biomaterial in several polymeric matrices such as Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), Polylactic acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), Polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS), Polyvinyl acetate (PVA), Low density polyethylene (LDPE) and so on . Among these, matrices like CS, cellulose, and starch (ST) are noteworthy, as they belong to the natural polymers and are biocompatible and biodegradable in nature.…”

This paper reports the properties of chitosan (CS) reinforced with varying weight percentage of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles with respect to physical and chemical properties. Coprecipitation process of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and phosphoric acid followed by microwave irradiation was used to synthesize nanosize rod‐shaped HA. The prepared powder was characterized using various chemical and physical methods. HA filled CS composites in different weight percentages were prepared by solvent casting method. The mechanical, thermal, and degradation studies of the composites showed improvement in properties indicating good filler‐matrix interaction in the composites. The highlights are the improvement in the thermal stability of the composites, significant reduction of gas permeability through the membranes, increase in the hydrophilicity of the composites and reduction in water swelling rate with respect to the filler content.
