Abstract:The light‐curable composite of siloxane/hydroxyapatite (HA) had been successfully achieved by photopolymerization of a kind of gel combined tetraethoxyorthosilicate (TEOS) and 3‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAPS) with siloxane‐modified nano‐HA (HA‐g‐Si). HA‐g‐Si was prepared by grafting reaction of 3‐isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane (IPS) onto the surface of HA. Then, TEOS and MAPS were mixed as precursor, and photoinitiator 2‐hydroxy‐4′‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐2‐methylpropiophenone (Irgacure 2959) and as‐pre… Show more
