Synthesis, characterization, in vitro biocompatibility and antibacterial properties study of nanocomposite materials based on hydroxyapatite-biphasic ZnO micro- and nanoparticles embedded in Alginate matrix.

The paper presents the results of studies of biocompatibility and antibacterial properties of multiphase nanocomposite materials based on HA-Alg-ZnO (hydroxyapatite‑sodium alginate-biphasic zinc oxide) and HA-ZnO (hydroxyapatite‑zinc oxide), which were synthesized from the analytically pure calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, ammonium hydrophosphate, hydrous ammonia, zinc nitrate hexahydrate and calcium chloride. The samples' antimicrobial activity assessment was carried out on Gram-negative (E. coli, P.
