Bioactive ions (Mg, Sr, Zn) doped carbonated hydroxyapatite powders and pure carbonated hydroxyapatite powders were prepared by wet chemical precipitation method. The ion doping changed the morphology of particles and decreased crystallinity, while the loaded biopolymer composite materials were successfully developed by novel electrospinning technique.
Bioactive ions (Mg, Sr, Zn) doped carbonated hydroxyapatite powders (dHAp) and pure carbonated hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders were prepared by wet chemical precipitation method. The bioactive ions were incorporated into the HAp matrix by co-precipitation from solution containing the appropriate amount of chloride salt of different ions. The morphology of pure HAp was mainly needle-like in nanometre size and the particles were disordered showing quasi-amorphous structure. The ion doping changed the morphology of particles, the dHAp particles had distorted spheroid shapes. Owing to the ion addition, the crystallinity of particles decreased. Particle aggregations can also be observed in both types of samples. HAp and dHAp loaded biopolymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) composite materials have also been developed by novel electrospinning technique. It has been shown that both the HAp and dHAp particles can be successfully incorporated into the PVP fibre web matrix and simultaneously the bioceramic powders were attached to the surface of polymer fibres. The surface of fibres was not fully covered with the particles. The ceramic powder addition to the polymer solution caused the polymer fibres to become more entangled and the diameters of fibres varied over a wider range compared to the base polymer fibres without bioceramic powder addition.
