Strontium, cerium co-substituted hydroxyapatite nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization, antibacterial activity towards prokaryotic strains and in vitro studies

- Synthesis of Ca/Sr/Ce-HA nanoparticles by microwave irradiation method is achieved.
- The Ca/Sr/Ce-HA nanoparticles are pure and low crystalline with reduced particle size.
- Ca/Sr/Ce-HA nanoparticles showed excellent antibacterial activity.
- As-synthesized Ca/Sr/Ce-HA nanoparticles demonstrate enhanced bone bonding ability.
