Abstract
The composite based Zinc-doped in Chitosan/Hydroxyapatite was successfully prepared by wet mixing method through the addition of 10, 15, and 20wt% of chitosan. The addition of Chitosan increased the compressive strength and the modulus elasticity. However, it decreased the density and the surface hardness of HA-Zn. Mechanical characterization revealed that these composites are suitable as a candidate of a cancellous bone substitute. Composite with 10% chitosan has compressive strength and modulus elasticity of 57.03 MPa and 0.15 GPa, respectively. Hence, it has the physical and mechanical properties that meet the standards as a cancellous bone substitute material. Also, in vitro biocompatibility test against BHK-21 cells exhibited non-toxic materials.
