Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticle Coating on Polymer for Constructing Effective Biointeractive Interfaces

Figure 9

Scheme of the biomineralization process to promote biological apatite (BAp) growth from a simulated body fluid (SBF) by three different processes: process 1—the bare substrates induced BAp growth by immersion in SBF; process 2—the fetal bovine serum (FBS) proteins preadsorbed on the substrates showed slight BAp growth, indicating a significant inhibition of the BAp growth; and process 3—the BAp coating technique on tissue culture poly(styrene) through the film formation by the hybridization of BAp with the L-α-phosphatidylcholine phospholipid vesicle (PV) was achieved.
