Nanostructured hydroxyapatite powder with biopolymers. Microparticles formed by nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite crystals, with needle shape and stabilized with polymer surfactants, resulting in a structure similar to a blackberry. In the field of regenerative medicine, there is a great use of this biomaterial due to the similarity to the main inorganic constituent of natural bone and teeth. The synthetic hydroxyapatite has excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity to be used as a suitable bone substitute.
