Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on creating porous spherical hydroxyapatite (HA) granules designed to serve as a bone graft substitute, using different amounts of camphene mixed with nano-sized HA powder and gelatin.
- - A water-in-oil emulsion method was applied to produce spherical granules, which were then separated by size and analyzed for optimal conditions using thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction.
- - The results indicated that the granules with a 90% HA and 10% camphene ratio had significant porosity and interconnected pore channels, suggesting their potential for use not only as bone grafts but also as carriers for drug delivery in tissue engineering.
