Abstract
Beta-chitin is a biopolymer principally found in shells of squid pen. It has the properties of biodegradability, biocompatibility, chemical inertness, wound healing, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a natural inorganic component of bone and teeth and has osteoconductive property. In this work, beta-chitin-HAp composite membranes were prepared by alternate soaking of beta-chitin membranes in CaCl2 (pH 7.4)...
