Abstract

Mesoporous hydroxyapatite (HA) with smaller pore size in the nano range and with narrower pore size distribution is a better candidate to provide a more favourable drug release profile by exhibiting a more uniform and sustained release. This research was conducted to investigate the drug impregnation and release capability of mesoporous HA synthesised via a self-assembly mechanism between HA and cationic surfactant decyltrimethylammonium bromide (C10TAB) through a co-precipitation route. Different parameters such as pH-control technique, ageing duration, and water ratio were attempted during the synthesis to investigate their respective influence on the sorption properties.
