This study compares synthesized osteoplastic composites containing micro and nano ZnO particles within a Hydroxyapatite-Alginate-Chitosan matrix.
ZnO exhibits strong antimicrobial properties against E.coli and S. aureus, showing no toxicity to bone-forming osteoblasts and enhancing biocompatibility.
The composites with ZnO demonstrate improved mechanical properties, such as increased Young's modulus and compressive strength, making them promising candidates for osteoplastic applications.
