Biocomposite of hydroxyapatite-titania rods (HApTiR): Physical properties and in vitro study

The aim in this research is to study the physical and biocompatible properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) composites (HApTiR) having different amounts of titania rod (TiR) in them (10–90 wt.%). The HAp and TiR were produced using hydrothermal and co-precipitation under reflux methods, respectively. The physical properties and the in vitro biocompatibility of the composites to simulated body fluid (SBF) were investigated. They were also cultured...
