The chemical structure properties and morphology of the composites were characterized by field emission source scanning electron microscope,X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.The results indicate that the NRHA/ GO composites have an irregular surface with different degree wrinkles and are stable,and NRHA are well combined with GO.In addition,the biomimetic mineralization mechanism of hydroxyapatite on the NRHA/GO composites in simulated body fluid (SBF)is presented.The presence of a bone-like apatite layer on the composite surface indicate that the NRHA/GO composites facilitate the nucleation and growth of hydroxyapatite crystals in SBF for biomimetic mineralization.Moreover,the NRHA-1.5/GO composite and pure GO were cultured with MC3T3-E1cells to investigate the proliferation and adhesion of cells.In vitro cytocompatibility evaluation demonstrated that the NRHA/GO composite can act as a good template for the growth and adhesion of cells. Therefore,the NRHA/GO composite could be applied as a GO-based,free-template,non-toxic,and bioactive composite to substitute for a damaged or defect bone.展开更多
