Abstract
A novel method of hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation on/in a three-dimensi onal hydrogel matrix was developed. This method is based on the widely -known wet synthesis of HAp and is alternate soaking process in CaCl2/ Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) and Na2HPO4 aqueous solutions. Using a poly(vinyl al cohol) (PVA) gel as a model matrix, PVA-HAp composites could be prepar ed and characterized.
