Summary: In order to enhance the antimicrobial potential of hydroxyapatite (HAp), it has been incorporated into various nanocomposites (NCs) with different structures. The HAp/tungsten oxide/graphene oxide (GO) ternary nanocomposite shows an improved cell viability of 96.7 +/-3% for osteoblast cells. Analytical techniques such as XRD, FTIR, XPS, and EDS confirm the chemical compositions. The HAp/WO3/GO composite exhibits a significant improvement in anti-microbial activity with 85.6 +/- 1.6% and 110.1 +/- 2.0% for E. coli and S. aureus, respectively.

Summary: Smart thermoresponsive polymers, such as PNIPAM, have great potential for biomedical applications, but face challenges such as low biodegradability and drug loading capacity. Combining natural polymers with PNIPAM can overcome these issues and create dual-functional materials. However, the addition of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fragments to PNIPAM can affect its transition temperature. This review focuses on the use of natural polymers, including polysaccharides, fibrous and non-fibrous proteins, and DNA, in combination with PNIPAM for biomedical purposes.
