    Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite derived from eggshell for biomedical applications

    Hydroxyapatite(HAP) a crystal-chemical analog of the bone tissue mineral component has been intensively studied in recent years as a potential bone substitute in orthopedic and dentistry because of its biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioactivity, and osteoconductive properties. Hydroxyapatite in a nanocrystalline state with uniform size and morphology has many applications in different fields of medicine ranging from targeted drug delivery to designed load-bearing implants. This work presents the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite derived from hen’s eggshell waste for biomedical applications. Firstly, bio-hydroxyapatite was synthesized by the wet precipitation method in which white hen’s eggshell waste was used. The white hen`s eggshells were washed, dried and reduced to powder with particle size ≤ 30 μm. Then, the eggshell powder was subjected to a heating cycle at 800 ° C for 3 hours to obtain calcium oxide. Calcium oxide was converted to bio-hydroxyapatite by the addition of a solution of distilled water and phosphoric acid under magnetic stirring at 100 ° C, until a viscous slurry was formed, which was oven dried at 110 ° C for 24 hours. The dried material was disintegrated and calcined at 900 ° C for 2 hours to obtain the hydroxyapatite phase. The bio-hydroxyapatite was irradiated with a high intensity ultrasonic (20 kHz, and 450W/cm2) in order to obtain nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite. These synthesized nanocrystalline hydroxyapatites have been characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, FTIR, and TG analyzes.

    2017 - REIS, PEDRO R.S.; SANTANA, JULYANA G.; OLIVEIRA, RENE R.; RANGARI, VIJAYA K.; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B.
    Nowadays significant advances have been made in the development of biodegradable polymeric materials for biomedical applications. The purpose of this study was to preparation and characterization of biodegradable polymer blend reinforced with bio-hydroxyapatite nanoparticle from eggshell by sonochemical method. Biodegradable polymer blends based on PLA (Poly(lactic acid)) and the PBAT (butylene adipate-co-terepthalate)) reinforced with 1-5 wt. % of bio-hydroxyapatite were prepared by melt extrusion, using a twin screw extruder and injection molding machine to obtain specimen test. The effects of the bio-hydroxyapatite addition on properties of PLA/PBAT biodegradable blend were investigated by tensile tests, XRD, DSC, TG and SEM-FEG analysis and the correlation between the results was discussed.
