Abstract

Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a biocompatible ceramic material, has garnered significant interest in medical applications due to its natural bone type replica. The current study investigates the physical, wettability, and thermal properties of a novel HAp derived from eggshell waste and reinforced with silver nanoparticles at 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 weight % concentration using chemical precipitation method and termed as HAP0.0Ag, HAP0.1Ag, HAP0.2Ag and HAP0.5Ag respectively. As observed, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) morphology confirms the synthesis of eggshell-derived silver-reinforced HAp, and doping improves the voids content in the material. The increase in contact angle from 66.200 ± 2.800 (HAP0.0Ag) to 71.350 ± 1.450 (HAP0.5Ag), decrease in calculated total SFE from 43.15 ± 0.32 (HAP0.0Ag) to 38.21 ± 0.36 (HAP0.5Ag) and decrease in water absorption by 21.31 % between unreinforced and 0.5% reinforced HAp reveals the surface hydrophobicity leading to improved wettability characteristics. The thermal stability and decomposition properties of the materials are assessed using Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Derivative Thermogravimetric curve (DTG), and the results show 7- 8 % decomposition of HAp material when heated till 10000C, providing insights into their suitability for high- temperature applications. The overall analysis opens avenues for diverse use of silver-reinforced HAp, from implant coating to dental implants and catalytic supports.
