Synthesis, characterization and in vitro evaluation of zinc and strontium binary doped hydroxyapatite for biomedical application

The aim of the present study is to examine the function of the two significant biological cations, Zn2+ and Sr2+, when co-doped in the structure of hydroxyapatite (HA). Six samples with different Zn2+ and Sr2+ concentrations were prepared by a hydrothermal process that includes the addition of Zn2+ and Sr2+ containing precursors to replace Ca2+ partially in the HA structure. The obtained nanomaterials were examined via XRD, ICP, FTIR, Raman...
