A study of porous silicon and hydroxyapatite nanocomposite suspensions obtained by laser ablation and mechanically

In this work, a porous silicon-hydroxyapatite nanocomposite was studied as a base for a promising biomaterial for osteoplasty. The mechanical method for creating nanocomposites is complicated and inefficient. Using the laser ablation method, there were obtained regular-shaped particles smaller in size than those obtained mechanically. The powder solubility in water was also investigated.
