Characterization, antibacterial and in vitro compatibility of zinc-silver doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles prepared through microwave synthesis

We investigated the possibility of enhancing hydroxyapatite (HA) bioactivity by co-substituting it with zinc and silver. Zn-Ag-HA nanoparticles were synthesized by using the microwave-assisted wet precipitation process, and their phase purity, elemental composition, morphology, and particle size wer...
