Abstract

Different calcium silicate hydrate (CSH)/polymer composites are synthesized by using a controlled precipitation reaction between calcium salt and silicate salt, followed by the addition of various polymer solutions at room temperature. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy has been used to extensively investigate the structural changes after hybrid biomaterials formation and the drug–carrier interactions on the molecular level. We find that the polymers alter the structure of CSH to various degrees and that this behaviour further influences the drug loading capacities and drug release kinetics.
