Liquid-crystalline hydroxyapatite/polymer nanorod hybrids : potential bioplatform for photodynamic therapy and cellular scaffolds

Recently, we found that self-organization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) leads to the formation of liquid-crystalline (LC) nanorod hybrids that form aligned films and show stimuli-responsive properties. Here, we demonstrate that these biocompatible HAp/PAA hybrid nanorods repr...
