  • Title: Biomimetically synthesized polymer-hydroxyapatite sheet like nano-composite.
    Author: Nayar S, Pramanick AK, Sharma BK, Das G, Ravi Kumar B, Sinha A.
    Journal: J Mater Sci Mater Med; 2008 Jan; 19(1):301-4. PubMed ID: 17597355.
    Abstract:
    Biomimetic internal architecture is proving valuable for multi-tissue and structural tissue interface engineering. A biomimetic method developed for the in situ synthesis of hydroxyapatite in poly (vinyl) alcohol, produces nanocomposites in the form of fabric-like sheets, when subjected to lyophilisation. The surface reactive hydroxyl groups of poly (vinyl) alcohol encourage site-specific coupling of hydroxyapatite. This results in improved mechanical properties, which may be better for biomedical applications when compared to a mere blend of the above two.
