Study the Effect of HAp Content in PLA/HAp Microsphere on the Efficiency of Drug (Clindamycin) Loading Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

An ultrasound field was applied to obtain Polylactic acid (PLA)/Hydroxyapatite (HAp) biocomposite microspheres with the specific core-shell structure to be applied as a carrier of a drug. The hydroxyapatite was obtained from crocodile bone by thermal process. Sample characterization was achieved by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). As the result, the PLA/HAp loading clindamycin with different polymer-to-ceramic part wt.% ratio (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30) showed the agglomeration of sphere-like particles. In addition, the loading efficiency of clindamycin increased with increasing HAp content up to 20%.
