Biodegradation Rate of ShellacCoated Bovine Hydroxyapatite for Bone Filler Material

摘要

This work reports on the effect of shellac coated hydroxyapatite (HA) on the biodegradation rate. The HA was processed from bovine bone. Shellac was derived from the resinous secretion of the lac insect. The aims of the addition of shellac solution is to know how the biodegradation rate material in the Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) solution. The four different of shellac solutions (2,5%; 5%; 7,5%; and 10% weight) coated HA scaffoldand one ratio as a control. It was concluded that the ability of biodegradation rate a materialwas not influenced by the ratio of shellac. All materials were biodegradedwhen they were soaked in PBS solution.
