Novel Clay Based Nanocomposite for Bone Tissue Engineering

RFT-244

Recently, biopolymer based nanocomposites are replacing synthetic polymer composites for various biomedical applications, because of the biocompatible and biobiodegradable behavior of natural polymers.

Scientists at Noth Dakota State University have recently synthesized a biopolymer based novel nanocomposite chitosan/montmorillonite (MMT)/hydroxyapatite (HAP) material that exhibits superior nanomechanical properties and shows promising prospects for use in tissue engineering applications.
