Hydroxyapatite/Polyvinyl Alcohol Composite in situ Synthesis for Hydrogel Formation

Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA-H) presents a remarkable resemblance to the natural articular cartilage due to the high water content and comparable microstructure. Nevertheless, PVA-H lacks mechanical strength, protein adsorption ability and does not adhere biologically or chemically to the osseous tissue thereby its application for bone tissue engineering purposes is limited. In order to develop a more suitable biomaterial for damaged articular repair or replacement, hydroxyapatite (HAp) was incorporated into the PVA-H matrix. In the current research HAp in situ synthesis in PVA solution was carried out and influence of synthesis parameters on inorganic phase chemical purity was investigated.
