Hydroxyapatite microsphere and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, in particular to a hydroxyapatite microsphere, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Hydroxyapatite (Hydroxyapatite, HAP) is the main inorganic component of human hard tissue. In the field of biomedical materials, the composite material is widely applied to the fields of bone implantation, wound repair, regenerative filling, medicine carrying and the like. Aiming at the requirements of different fields, the HAP with different morphological structural characteristics is designed to have important significance for exerting the functions of the HAP. The porous HAP microsphere has high specific surface area, high adsorption characteristic, high interaction between protein and cell, and other advantages. Therefore, developing HAP microsphere materials with specific porous morphology is of great significance.
Methods for preparing porous HAP microspheres include spray drying, emulsion, hydrothermal synthesis, and the like. Although porous HAP microspheres can be obtained by both spray drying and emulsion methods, the preparation method is relatively cumbersome. For example, the spray drying method needs to be subjected to the processes of synthesis, collection, washing, drying, crushing and grinding, slurry preparation, spraying, drying, sintering and the like, and meanwhile, the spray slurry needs to be adjusted according to the different microsphere morphologies, so that the process is complicated; emulsion process, which is similar to spray drying process for preparing HAP microsphere, requires a great amount of organic oil phase reagent and also needs to adjust dispersed phase of HAP for microsphere with different morphology. Meanwhile, the HAP microsphere with the nanometer self-assembled structure is difficult to obtain in the two preparation modes. Compared with the two preparation methods, the hydrothermal synthesis method has simple preparation process and is easy to realize the nano assembly structure. In addition, the HAP microsphere prepared by the hydrothermal method has more similar composition with natural HAP. Although there are many reports at present that HAP microspheres with a certain particle size can be obtained by a hydrothermal synthesis method, the HAP microspheres with continuously controllable particle size are difficult to obtain by the method, and the adjustment of the pore structure of the HAP microspheres is still difficult. Therefore, developing a novel hydrothermal synthesis process and obtaining a preparation method of HAP microspheres with controllable and adjustable structures still has a need of solving the problem.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.
