Properties of Hydrochloric Chitosan Solutions Modified With Nano- Calcium Phosphate Complex.

Abstract

Nature itself uses materials like cellulose to provide the structure of plants, chitin as the exoskeleton of several insects and molluscs, collagen for mechanical support in connective tissues and so on. At present, the socioeconomic situation of the modern world has raised the interest in renewable materials to use in regenerative medicine. The composition of Chitosan and/or Calcium Phosphates are derived from the junction of two or more different materials, containing organic and inorganic materials, including characteristics of both materials like bioactivity and biodegradability and biocompatibility with human tissues. The chemical characteristics of chitosan and nano B-TCP / HAp complex showed that both of the components organic and inorganic exist in the material showing a good stability of the nano-ceramic formation in the chitosan salt solutions. All complex by Zeta-Potential, showing also a new method of preparations nanoparticles of calcium phosphates in chitosan solution from commercial calcium phosphates in micro size. These materials can be used in future for medical applications as a base for scaffolds production and as implants in regenerative medicine.
