Hydroxyapatite(HAp)/bacterial cellulose(BC) nanocomposites were prepared by an optimal biomimetic mineralization synthesis approach for bone tissue engineering application.BC with ultrafine three dimensional network was negatively charged by the adsorption of polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) to initiate th...
