Abstract
Eggshell waste (EW) is an abundant waste from group of municipal solid waste that being neglected for a longtime untilits potential innumerous field being developed. High calcium content in EW make it favorable as potential starting material to be mixed with other biomaterial for tissue engineering application. This paper reviews the utilization of eggshell in producingcalciumphosphate and particular attention has been given to hydroxyapatite because of its bioactivity and osteoconductivity and tricalcium phosphate because of its resorbability in physiological medium. This reviews reveals interesting information and developments that have not, to our knowledge, previously been reported. Starting with the eggshell unique structure and properties with its application in various field as promising biomaterials. In addition to that, the emerging advanced manufacturing makesit possible for incorporating EW in biocomposite including metallic, ceramic and polymer. Similar to synthetic composite, this system also strive for excellent performance with exceptional in mimicking the structure of living materials along with providing biocompatibility.
