N2 - A bionanocomposite of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (HAP NCs) was successfully synthesized via surface thiol-lactam initiated radical polymerization (TLIRP) employing grafting from protocol. The surface chemistry, structure, morphology, and size distribution of PHEMA-g-HAP nanocomposites were exclusively investigated by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, GPC, XPS, TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM, and DLS analyses. Covalently formed PHEMA-g-HAP nanocomposites demonstrated an exceptionally good dispersibility in both aqueous and organic solvents. A protein immobilization and release study suggested that the synthesized PHEMA-g-HAP nanocomposites possessed a great affinity towards the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein.
