Composite microspheres have been prepared from bioactive ceramics Such as coralline hydroxyapatite [CHA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)] granules, a biodegradable polymer, gelatin and an antibiotic, gentamicin. In our earlier work, we have shown a gentamicin release from CHA granules-chitosan composite microspheres. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to prepare the composite microspheres containing coralline hydroxyapatite and gelatin (CHA-G), which were prepared by the dispersion polymerization technique and the gentamicin was incorporated by the absorption method. The crystal Structure of the composite microspheres was analyzed using X-ray powder diffractometer. The Fourier transformed infrared spectrum clearly indicated the presence of amide and hydroxyl groups in the composite microspheres. Scanning electron micrographs and optical micrographs show that the composite microspheres are spherical in shape and Porous in nature. The particle size of composite microspheres was analyzed and the average size was found to be 16 mum. The thermal behavior of composite microspheres Was Studied using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetric analysis. The cumulative in vitro release profile of gentamicin from composite microspheres showed near zero order patterns. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
