Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding bio-mineralized hydroxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs–OH) on the compressive strength of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also incorporated as a protein which acts as promoter of hydroxyapatite (HA) crystal growth when bounded to CPC granules. The results show that the strong interfacial bonding of CPC/MWCNTs–OH is essential to improve the mechanical properties of CPC/bio-mineralized MWCNTs–OH/BSA composite.
