Porous Nanocomposite Comprising Ultralong Hydroxyapatite Nanowires Decorated with Zinc‐Containing Nanoparticles and Chitosan: Synthesis and Application in Bone Defect Repair

Hydroxyapatite nanowires exhibit a great potential in biomedical applications owing to their high specific surface area, high flexibility, excellent mechanical properties, and similarity to mineralized collagen fibrils of natural bone. In this work, zinc‐containing nanoparticle‐decorated ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowires (Zn‐UHANWs) with a hierarchical nanostructure have been synthesized by a one‐step solvothermal method. The highly flexible...
