    Mechanistic studies of the interaction of electromagnetic (EM) fields with biomaterials has motivated a growing need for accurate models to describe the EM behavior of biomaterials exposed to these fields. In this paper, biodegradable bone scaffolds were fabricated using Wangi rice starch and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA). The effects of porosity and composition on the fabricated scaffold were discussed via electrical impedance spectroscopy analysis. The fabricated scaffold was subjected to an electromagnetic field within the X-band and Ku-band (microwave spectrum) during impedance/dielectric measurement. The impedance spectra were analyzed with lumped-element models. The impedance spectra of the scaffold can be embodied in equivalent circuit models composed of passive components of the circuit, i.e., resistors, inductors and capacitors. It represents the morphological, structural and chemical characteristics of the bone scaffold. The developed models describe the impedance characteristics of plant tissue. In this study, it was found that the ε′ and ε″ of scaffold composites exhibited up and down trends over frequencies for both X-band and Ku-band. The circuit models presented the lowest mean percentage errors of Z′ and Z″, i.e., 3.60% and 13.80%, respectively.

    Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) is widely used in dentistry and orthopaedics as a bone substitute or replacement material. The material is chemically and crystallographically identical to the mineral component of human biological bone. Natural materials such as animal bones, clay, eggshells, corals, and seashells can be used as a main source of calcium precursor to synthesise HA. Using Malaysian shell waste materials is sustainable and economical. Thus, these advantages have attract researchers to explore potential products from shell trash. This chapter presents the synthesis method and characterisation of hydroxyapatite synthesised from several Malaysian local seashells such as Paphia textile (lala), Corbiculacea (etok), and Polymesoda expansa (lokan) shells.

    This study is aim to investigate the dielectric properties (dielectric constant, ε′ and loss factor, ε′′) and the biodegradation properties of the nano-hydroxyapatite/starch bone scaffold with various starch proportion in simulated body fluid. The nano-hydroxyapatite/starch bone scaffolds with starch proportions 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 wt.% were fabricated. The ε′ and ε′′ of nano-hydroxyapatite/starch composite decrease when frequency increases. However, it increases when starch proportion and temperature increase. The biodegradation properties of the nano-hydroxyapatite/starch bone scaffold can be improved when the dielectric properties and porosity are enhanced. The enhancement of dielectric properties and porosity is due to the increment of starch proportion. The nano-hydroxyapatite/starch bone scaffold with the high starch proportion exhibits nano-hydroxyapatite/starch interfaces with strong intermolecular interactions that can stabilize biodegradation and biomineralization. The dielectric properties of the simulated body solutions are highly sensitive to the variation of the ion concentrations (calcium and phosphate). The nano-hydroxyapatite/starch bone scaffold with 80 wt.% starch proportion exhibits significant dielectric and biodegradation properties. It has potential to be a biodegradable inorganic/organic bone scaffold.

    This study aims to investigate the electric responses (complex modulus and complex impedance analysis) of hydroxyapatite/starch bone scaffold as a function of hydroxyapatite/starch proportion and the microstructural features. Hence, the non-porous and porous hydroxyapatite/starch composites were fabricated with various hydroxyapatite/starch proportions (70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, 20/80, and 10/90 wt/wt%). Microstructural analysis of the porous hydroxyapatite/starch composites was carried out by using scanning electron microscopy. It shows that the formation of hierarchical porous microstructures with high porosity is more significant at a high starch proportion. The complex modulus and complex impedance analysis were conducted to investigate the electrical conduction mechanism of the hydroxyapatite/starch composites via dielectric spectroscopy within a frequency range from 5 MHz to 12 GHz. The electrical responses of the hydroxyapatite/starch composites are highly dependent on the frequency, material proportion, and microstructures. High starch proportion and highly porous hierarchical microstructures enhance the electrical responses of the hydroxyapatite/starch composite. The material proportion and microstructure features of the hydroxyapatite/starch composites can be indirectly reflected by the simulated electrical parameters of the equivalent electrical circuit models.
