Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding bio-mineralized hydroxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) on the compressive strength of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also incorporated as a protein which acts as promoter of hydroxyapatite (HA) crystal growth when bounded to CPC granules. The results show that the strong interfacial bonding of CPC/MWCNTs-OH is essential to improve the mechanical properties of CPC/bio-mineralized MWCNTs-OH/BSA composite. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
