Significant work has been done investigating interactions of various macromolecules with hydroxyapatite (HAp). However, to the best of our knowledge, there is lack of researches dealing with composites prepared of HAp and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which has been modified for better drug-loading capacity. In this work, to achieve superior combination of synergic effect and bioactivity of HAp and biodegradability of PVA, composite microgranules were prepared.
