Bacterial Cellulose-Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposites for Bone Regeneration

Figure 4

SEM images of the BC-HA nanocomposites (a) and (b) at 30.000× and 60.000×, respectively, and SEM images of the BC membrane (c) at 30.000×. A 5 kV accelerating voltage was used for the BC sample, and a 25 kV voltage was used to obtain the image of the BC-HA nanocomposites. EDS spectrum was taken from a typical nanofibril with surrounding HA crystals (d).
