Abstract

Highlights: Natural Caprine bone and Gallium substituted Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus composite powders were synthesized by thermal decomposition method. The SEM reveals that the size of the Hydroxyapatite powders reduced with the substitution of Gallium in the composite. Gallium substituted Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus shows better Antibacterial activity compare to un-substituted composite. The as-synthesized natural bio ceramic composite can be a promising candidate for various biomedical applications particularly orthopedics and dental implants. Abstract: Natural (Caprine bone) Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus and Gallium substituted Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus composite powders were successfully synthesized by thermal decomposition method. The synthesized powders were confirmed function group by FTIR and the phase purity, crystalline size through XRD results. The SEM results show that the size of the Hydroxyapatite powders reduced with the substitution of Gallium in the natural Hydroxyapatite composite which leads to the formation of finer powders and uniform surface morphology. Natural Gallium substituted Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus composite were successfully achieved to obtained better morphology. Gallium substituted Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus shows better antibacterial activity compare to Hydroxyapatite/Phyllanthus acidus composite.
