Dye removal from wastewater is of prominence due to its hostile effects on human health and the environment. The complex structure of the dye molecule is responsible for its difficulty in removal. Adsorption is found to be a promising technique to eliminate dye wastes due to its high removal capacity at low concentration. Among different adsorbents used, hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible adsorbent that is relatively efficient in both anionic and cationic dye removal. Recently, modification of hydroxyapatite by doping with other materials to increase its removal efficiency has gained much attention. This review summarizes compilation of recent literature on the removal of anionic and cationic dye by different hydroxyapatite nanocomposites, comparison of adsorption capacities of different hydroxyapatite nanocomposites, the possible adsorption mechanism of removal of dyes, the general isotherm, and kinetic and thermodynamic studies explaining the type of adsorption and the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of adsorbents.

Hydroxyapatite/zirconia (HAP/ZrO) composites were fabricated via the low-temperature mineralization sintering process (LMSP) at an extremely low temperature of 130 °C to enhance the mechanical properties of HAP and broaden its practical applications. For this purpose, 5-20 vol% calcia-stabilized ZrO were introduced into HAP, and HAP/ZrO nanoparticles, mixed with simulated body fluid, were densified under a uniaxial pressure of 800 MPa at 130 °C. At 10 vol% ZrO, the relative density of the HAP/ZrO composite was determined to be 88.

Integrating nanotechnology with tissue engineering has revolutionized biomedical sciences, enabling the development of advanced therapeutic strategies. Tissue engineering applications widely utilize alginate due to its biocompatibility, mild gelation conditions, and ease of modification. Combining different nanomaterials with alginate matrices enhances the resulting nanocomposites' physicochemical properties, such as mechanical, electrical, and biological properties, as well as their surface area-to-volume ratio, offering significant potential for tissue engineering applications.

Objectives: Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/collagen (Col) cylinders with laminated collagen layers were implanted into the tibial diaphysis of rats and examined histochemically to clarify how the orientation of HAp and Col bone-like nanocomposite fibers in HAp/Col blocks affects bone resorption and formation.
Methods: HAp/Col fibers were synthesized and compressed into cylindrical blocks to mimic bone nanostructures. These were implanted into the cortical bone cavities of 10-week-old male Wistar rats with fiber bundles parallel to the tibial surface.

The surface characteristics of scaffolds utilized in bone tissue engineering profoundly influence subsequent cellular response. This study investigated the efficacy of applying a gelatin coat to the surface of aminolysis surface-modified scaffolds fabricated through 3D printing with a polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite, employing the hot-melt extrusion FDM technique. Initially, aminolysis surface modification using hexamethylenediamine enhanced surface hydrophilicity by introducing amine functional groups.
