Abstract:The present study reported the preparation of food industry biowaste buffalo teeth-derived
hydroxyapatite (BT-HA)/chitosan-polyvinyl pyrrolidone (CS-PVP)/aloe vera (ALV) natural biopolymer
as a biocomposite for improved mechanical, antimicrobial and cytocompatible characteristics. The
strengthening of biopolymer has a major role to play in improving the mechanical properties of the
biocomposite, while the addition of aloe vera increases antimicrobial and cytocompatibility. Chemical
structure, crystalline phase… Show more
