Localized Green Fabrication of Hydroxyapatite/ZnO Nanocomposite: Toward A Sustainable Antibacterial Biomaterial
Using a plant-assisted sol–gel strategy, a hydroxyapatite–zinc oxide (HAp/ZnO) composite was produced from Padalarang calcite and lemon (Citrus limon L.) extract. The calcite supplied the calcium component, while constituents of the lemon extract promoted metal-ion complexation and helped control precursor stabilizatio...
