Surface properties of composites containing chitosan (Ch), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with hydroxyapatite (HAP) were investigated by contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Thin films of Ch/HAP and Ch/PVA/HAP composites have been formed by casting methods from acetic acid solutions. Measurements of the contact angle for diiodomethane (D), and glycerol (G) on the surface of chitosan films, Ch/HAP and chitosan/PVA/HAP films were made and surface free energy was calculated. It was found that chitosan/HAP or Ch/PVA/HAP blend surface is enriched in high surface energy component i.e. chitosan. The study of composites by AFM showed a completely different morphology when compared with unmodified components. The roughness of composites increase after the addition of hydroxyapatite. This may indicates a strong interaction between the polymeric components and inorganic additive.
