Abstract :
Dual ionic substitutions in addition to that polymer have been anticipated as a tool to improve the mechanical and biological properties of hydroxyapatite (HA). Substitution of trace elements, such as Sr, Mg, Zn ions into the structure of calcium phosphates is the subject of widespread investigation. Our studies deals with the synthesis of copper/zinc with polymer like PEG (polyethylene glycol) co-substituted HA nanoparticles (Ca/Cu/Zn/PEG–HA) by precipitation method, which enhance biocompatibility, bioactivity, cytotoxicity and mechanical properties. The synthesized polymer composite material was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM EDAX, cell viability, anticancer and antimicrobial studies. The as-developed composite material can act as a potential role in biomedical applications.
