Composite Containing Hydroxyapatite, Chitosan or a Derivative Thereof, and Catechol or a Derivative Use Thereof

Catechol-Chitosan-Hydroxyapatite Composite Technology

This technology relates to a composite combining hydroxyapatite, a chitosan-based polymer, and catechol-based components to improve both mechanical strength and biocompatibility.

Conventional composite materials for bone regeneration have had difficulty balancing strength and biocompatibility. This technology forms an organically reinforced composition by combining hydroxyapatite with chitosan derivatives and catechol derivatives.

As a result, it can simultaneously improve mechanical strength and biocompatibility, making it useful in bone regeneration, tissue engineering, and medical composite materials.

Key Features:

• It combines hydroxyapatite, chitosan or a derivative thereof, and catechol or a derivative thereof.
• It is advantageous for improving mechanical strength and biocompatibility in the form of an organically reinforced composition.
• It is suitable for bone regeneration and medical composite-material applications.
