Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the most important in the family of calcium phosphates since it is an inorganic component of bone and it has been proven to be a biocompatible, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive material. However, it presents low antimicrobial activity making it susceptible to infections. This work aimed first to synthesize and characterize HAp nanofibers doped with Mg nanoparticles with a growth-oriented crystalline structure and second to evaluate their antimicrobial activity. For this, we synthesized HAp nanofibers by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method and carried out the structural characterization using the X-ray powder diffraction method. The morphological, topological, and microstructural characterization was performedwith scanning electron microscopy. Given the results, synthetic Mg-HAp nanofibers exhibited a hexagonal morphology and high purity and crystallinity. In addition, the nanofunctionality show of Mg-HAp exhibits good antimicrobial activity.
