title: A Facile and Effective Approach to Fabricate Chitosan/Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposite Coating on the Surface of Wood from Chinese Glossy Privet.
abstract: A chitosan/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite coating was fabricated on the surface of wood from Chinese Glossy Privet (CGP) and could adhere compactly to the wood surface. Fourier transform infrared spectra analysis indicated that the interaction between chitosan and hydroxyapatite might exist. In addition, sodium bicarbonate was added into the nanocomposite during the preparation process making the boating porous in acidic surrounding through effervescence effect. Field emission scanning electron microscope characterizations showed the nanocomposite (M(CS):M(HA) = 1:1, with 30% NaHCO3) was optimal and such composite was stable, which was verified by thermal analysis and in vitro degradation study. This work could provide a facile and effective fabricating approach of biocompatible material which may have some potential applications as bone-repairing material.
