Bioactivity of a Chitosan Based Nanocomposite

In this work, experiments to produce a series of nanocomposites based on natural chitosan and nano-clay (MMT) were conducted. Commercially available montmorillonite (MMT) was used as a nanofiller. CS-MMT nanocomposites were prepared using the casting method. Thin nanocomposite foils were neutralized in NaOH solution, then the nanocomposite foils were soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF). Kinetics of crystallization of the apatite structure was...
