Abstract
Graphene/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites (NCs) is attracted more attention in bone tissue engineering due to their osteoconductive properties. Adding different ionic substitutions to graphene/hydroxyapatite NCs may increase its osteogenic properties. In this research study, bismuth doped hydroxyapatite nano-rods (Bi-nHA) were decorated on the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The formation and structure of the nanocomposites (rGO/Bi-nHA) was characterized using the transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffracti
