Abstract
- Homogeneous agarose/hydroxyapatite (agar/HA) nanocomposites were synthesized without any crosslinking agent via a facile in situ precipitation method.
- The inorganic nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in the organic matrix, and the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were enhanced significantly.
- The biocompatibility of the nanocomposites was desirable, which have the potential to be used for the bone regeneration and repair of the bone defect.
- The structural role of agarose in agar/HA nanocomposites was investigated.
- The advantage of gel media for preparing biomaterials was presented.
