Sintesis Hidroksiapatit Berpori dari Cangkang Telur Ayam dengan Matriks Selulosa Nata De Coco dan Natrium Alginat

Abstract

This research has been done on the synthesis of porous hydroxyapatite from hen eggshells with nata de coco cellulose and Na-alginate matrix. The method used for synthesis of HAp powder is wise drop precipitation, whereas for synthesis of HAp/cellulose and HAp/alginate composites, cellulose immersion and phase separation method were used. The products are HAp powder, scaffold shaped HAp/alginate, and sheet shaped HAp/cellulose composites. XRD characterization results have shown a diffarction pattern that indicated HAp phase with degree of crystallinity more than 80% for HAp powder and more than 50% for composite of HAp/cellulose. FTIR characterization results have shown an absorption spectral clusters of constituent HAp compound and composite of HAp/algiate compound. Scan results using SEM showed that composite of HAp/alginate has porosity structure with enough regularity and size variation start from 93 μm until 182 μm. EDX analysis produced a spectrum of element which present in the composites. The Ca/P ratios based on mass percentage from EDX analysis of HAp/alginate composite are 1.84 and 1.86, while for HAp/cellulose composite are 1.43 and 1.45. The used of CaCl2 as corsslink agent were thought to be the factor that increase the Ca/P ratio in HAp/alginate composite.
