Marine Structure Derived Calcium Phosphate–Polymer Biocomposites for Local Antibiotic Delivery

Marine Structure Derived Calcium Phosphate–Polymer Biocomposites for Local Antibiotic Delivery

Hydrothermally converted coralline hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles loaded with medically active substances were used to develop polylactic acid (PLA) thin film composites for slow drug delivery systems. The effects of HAp particles within PLA matrix on the gentamicin (GM) release and release kinetics...
