Abstract

nanocarbonated hydroxyapatite/Poly (4-vinyl pyridine-co-styrene) composites of varying composition for biomaterial applications have been synthesized. The nanocarbonated hydroxyapatite/Poly (4-vinyl pyridine-co-styrene) composite materials were characterized by XRD, FTIR, 31P NMR, TGA, DTA and FESEM. Carbonated Hydroxyapatite nanorod embedded composite was prepared using Poly (4-vinyl pyridine-co-styrene) as a matrix with different weight percentages (wt %). The results indicated that the size and crystallinity of Carbonated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles decreases with increase in Poly (4-vinyl pyridine-co-styrene) concentration in the composite. SEM confirms the presence of carbonated hydroxyapatite nanorod crystals in Poly (4-vinyl pyridine-co-styrene) matrix. nanoCarbonated hydroxyapatite/ Poly (4-vinyl pyridine-co-styrene) composites were screened for antimicrobial activity and anti inflammatory activity.
