Abstract

Hydroxyapatite with Guar Gum (HAp/GG) composites was synthesized by wet chemical method. Di ammonium hydrogen phosphate, calcium hydroxide and guar gum were used as starting materials. The powder sample was characterized by the Fourier Transform infra-red (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM ), Thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory test. With respect to the result achieved from the above analysis, it was found that nano hydorxyapatite with guar gum composite can successfully be produced through the wet chemical precipitation method. TEM technique demonstrated that the powder were nano sized and had a rod-like morphology. FTIR reveals the functional groups. XRD pattern illustrate the crystallite size and lattice parameter values. Antibacterial activity exhibits the activity in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
