Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Nanocomposite material based on bacterial cellulose and hydroxyapatite was obtained using the biomimetic mineralization method (imitation of the formation of the mineral component in natural bone tissue) and the synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles in the presence of fibrillar fragments of BC. The biocomposite BC/HA-1 obtained by biomineralization showed high physicochemical parameters compared with the composite obtained by synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles in the presence of fibrillar fragments of BC (BC/HA-2). The ultimate tensile strength of the composite BC/HA-1 was 92.07+1.4 MPa, the composite BC/HA-2 was 76.09+1.1 MPa. Young's modulus (the coefficient of proportionality between stress and strain) of the BC/HAP-1 composite was 59.04+0.6 MPa (BC/HA-1), which is 18.6% higher than that of the BC/HA-2 composite (48.03+0.8 MPa).
