The aim of this study was to explore the effect of cerium ions on the formation and structure of hydroxyapatite (HAP). All particles, prepared by hydrothermal method, were synthesized at varied X(Ce) = Ce/(Ca + Ce) (from 0 to 10%) with the atomic ratio (Ce + Ca)/P fixed at 1.67. Their morphology, composition and crystal structure were characterized by TEM, EPMA, XRD and FTIR. The results showed that in this composition range the apatite structure is maintained, Ce3+ ions could enter the crystal lattice of apatite and substitute Ca2+ ions. The doping of Ce3+ ions resulted in the decrease of the crystallite size with increase in X(Ce). The HAP particles without doping were short rods having a diameter from 10 to 20 nm and a length from 30 to 50 nm. They grew into long needles upon increasing X(Ce).

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) are becoming increasingly crucial in dental implant applications as they are highly compatible with biological systems, actively support biological processes, and closely resemble bone minerals. This review covers the latest progress in how HANPs are made, studied, and used in dentistry. It looks at critical methods for creating HANPs, such as sol-gel, microwave hydrothermal synthesis, and biomimetic approaches, and how they affect the particles' size, structure, and activity.

The development of hybrid materials that integrate bioactive and antimicrobial properties within a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer matrix is a key focus in current biomedical research and applications. A significant research gap exists in the field of PHBV nanocomposites, particularly concerning those that simultaneously incorporate both ZnO and HAP particles. This study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of innovative hybrid bionanocomposites composed of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) combined with zinc oxide (ZnO) and silicon-doped hydroxyapatite (SiHAP) nanocrystals.

Waste generation from fish processing sectors has become a significant environmental concern. This issue is exacerbated in countries with high aquaculture production and inefficient fish scale (FS) utilization. This study prepared and compared highly crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) from the FS of an anadromous fish, (I-HAp), and a freshwater fish, (R-HAp).
