Bioactivity Of The Synthesized MgO Nanomaterial By Hydrothermal Technique
MgO was synthesized using the hydrothermal technique. The autoclave containing material based on magnesium (NO3)2.6H2O was filled and heated to 100°C for three hours. Electrophoretic deposition technique was utilized to deposit MgO powder on a Ti plate. To examine its bioactivity (formation of hydroxyapatite (HAp), coated Ti with MgO was then submerged in concentrated SBF for a month. The formation of pure HAp without additional phases including calcium and phosphorus was confirmed by the XRD test. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images refer to the formation of semispherical HAp nanoparticles with a diameter ≈ 20 nm. The inhibition zones of MgO were evaluated in order to assess their antibacterial effectiveness against S. aureus , S. epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans. MgO was not shown to have any antibacterial properties against the dangerous bacteria that were identified.
