Synthesis and Characterisation of Poly (Glycerol-co-Citrate)/ n-HAp Composite for Biomedical Applications

Citric acid based polyester has found widespread application in biomedical engineering such as tissue engineering, drug delivery and bio-imaging. The incorporation of nanohydroxyapatite in polymeric structure enhances the biocompatibility. The polyester, poly (Glycerol-Co-Citrate) was synthesised by catalyst free melt polycondensation. Nanohydroxyapatite powder was synthesised by sol gel method using calcium nitrate and phosphoric acid as...
