Abstract

The hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an important material for orthopedics and dentistry applications. In the present study a simple method was tried for added the iron oxide nanoparticles into HAp so as to establish and induce a biocompatibility. In the research the mechanism of the coated of iron oxide with HAp would also be described by the analysis of X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and Fourier transformation infrared. Osteoblast cells were permanent monitored to detect any possible influence due to samples that might alter the cell growth, viability and proliferation..
