Due to similarity to bioapatite, hydroxyapatite nanocomposites (HAp NCs) are promising biomaterials in tissue engineering. Conventionally, bone/tissue engineering has extensively used HAp NCs due to their osteogenic and biocompatible qualities. However, traditional HAp production procedures restrict their extensive application in fabrication of biomedical materials, including bones, teeth, cartilage, etc. Novel techniques like 4DP have been used to create customized HAp NC–based scaffolds for the patients. In this review, we provide an overview of different 4DP methods that are utilized in the HAp NC-based scaffolds fabrication. Various natural sources of HAp and different synthesis methods have been investigated. Several 4DP HAp NC-based scaffolds, their properties, biomedical applications, advantages, disadvantages, and future prospects are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":397,"journal":{"name":"Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 101550"},"PeriodicalIF":5.45,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145119640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aims to explore the transfer of heat and mass by employing numerical methods and artificial neural networks. The system consists of complex fluid-flow partial differential equations that are converted into ordinary differential equations by utilizing similarity variables. In the present problem, Buongiorno two-phase model is used, in the said model, slip due to nanoparticles at the wall is studied through two major slip mechanisms, namely, thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion. Further, by using MATLAB software, the reference data produced by the artificial neural network, which utilizes a Levenberg–Marquardt intelligent network, is allocated through three distinct characteristics: training, testing, and validation. The study involves calculating the mean squared error, analyzing histograms, and conducting regression analyses to demonstrate and assess the effects of the drag force and Nusselt number. The matrix laboratory function, utilized in addressing a boundary value problem through a 5th order method, enables the simulation of graphs and tables that clearly depict the various physical influences numerically represented in fluid flow profiles and gradients. The periodic magnetic field's intensity diminishes the energy transfer rate, concurrently leading to an elevation in the liquid's temperature, with the periodic characteristics of the magnetic field being distinctly evident.
