Medical applications of ternary nanocomposites based on hydroxyapatite/ytterbium oxide/graphene oxide: potential bone tissue engineering and antibacterial properties

The spreading of diseases that cause major bone defects urges the need for fabricating bone substitutes. Hydroxyapatite (HAP)/ytterbium oxide (Yb2O3)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite is fabricated and studied for its bioactivity, biocompatibility, microhardness, and antimicrobial activity to be use...
