Hydroxyapatite (Hap) is a cornerstone material in biomedical fields, crucial for bone tissue repair and replacement the human body. However, its mechanical strength falls short compared to that of natural bone, necessitating enhancements. Addressing this challenge, cobalt ferrite emerges as promising reinforcing agent Hap, boasting excellent biocompatibility. Diffraction was employed assess crystallinity phase purity hydroxyapatite, ferrite, composite. The results indicated crystallite size 13.51 nm 9.62 76.4 hydroxyapatite/cobalt Further characterization through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Raman spectroscopy confirmed presence functional groups synthesized materials. FTIR analysis validated successful synthesis their Specifically, spectra exhibited oxygen such –OH, –CO, C=O, C–OH while CO2, Fe–O, Co–O groups. Ultraviolet conducted determine bandgap energies, revealing values 3.51 eV 5.47 hydroxyapatite. This comprehensive underscores potential Hap/CoFe2O4 nanocomposite engineering.
