Production and Characterizationof Boron Doped Hydroxyapatite Nanofibers via Electrospinning Method
Abstract :
Firstly, pure and boric acid doped HA solutions have been prepared with the sol-gel method.Afterwards, nanofibers were produced on aluminum foil and pure titanium with a modified surface by using the electrospinning method. The best production conditions were determined as 15 kV electric voltage, 6 cm tip to sheet distance and 0,5 ml/h flow rate via examining different production parameters such as flow rate, electric field, and the distance between tip and sheet. Post production the necessary transformations have been assured via exposing the fibers to heat treatment 500 ºC at the air atmospheric environment. After heat treatment, by conserving the structure, nanofibers below 300 nm have been obtained. In the samples that boric acid is 0,0033 mole, more dense and homogenous fibers as per pure samples have been obtained and together with the increase in the surface energy and surface field adhesion properties of the material have been improved.
