This current work highlights the synthesis of hydroxyapatite incorporated with silver (Ag-HA) bioceramic material using microwave-assisted wet precipitation method for the first time. This method is relatively convenient and cost effective to produce Ag-HA composite. Apart from physicochemical chara...
