This study investigated the effect of the addition of montmorillonite into a hydroxyapatite nanocomposite for biomedical application. Hydroxyapatite (HA)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite was prepared using a powder sintering technique at 800 °C for 2 h. The specific surface area and pore volume w...
