Preparation of a Highly Dispersed Nanohydroxyapatite by a New Surface-Modification Strategy Used as a Reinforcing Filler for Poly(lactic-co-glycolide)
2018
Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) was introduced to obtain surface-modified nanohydroxyapatite (CM-β-CD-HA). The results of Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dispersion testing, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis showed that CM-β-CD was surface-grafted onto nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) by the reaction of a carboxyl group of CM-β-CD with Ca2+ ions during the formation of n-HA. The best appropriate reaction condition was obtained, which accomplished CM-β-CD-HA with the greatest grafting amount and best dispersion. Then, CM-β-CD-HA was introduced to poly(lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with different amounts of 5, 10, and 15 wt % by a solution mixing method, and the properties of CM-β-CD-HA/PLGA composites were also investigated by electromechanical universal testing, XRD, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized optical microscopy. The results indicated that CM-β-CD-HA with 10 wt % had the best mechanical reinforcing effe...
