Abstract :Nanocomposite is new class of polymer composite whish has nanometer-sized dispersion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1–100 nm); and display excellent properties when compared with conventional composites [1-2]. In this study, we prepared bio-nanocomposite based on organically modified enamel and chitosan using a solvent solution method. The morphology of Chitosan/Modified Enamel bio-nanocomposite were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);. This study focused on the predicting the pH dependent swelling behaviour of a hydrogel. The swelling characteristics of Chitosan/Modified Enamel bio-nanocomposite were investigated by swelling experiments. We performed to characterize the swelling behaviour of the in bio-nanocomposite at different pH insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3, 4, 7, 10 ve 11); solutions. Chitosan/Modified Enamel bio-nanocomposite reached maximum swelling ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%); at pH 11 and the bionanocomposite hydrogel swelling ratio was 4734 at 60 minute. The results showed that the swelling ratio of Chitosan/Modified Enamel bio-nanocomposite depended on pH.
