Abstract
Modification with zinc oxide (ZnO) via sol-gel method has been
successfully carried out. The analysis of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
showed hexagonal crystal system and the addition of zinc can
increase the intensity and crystallinity of the sample. The
spectrum of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) showed the presence
of functional groups suitable for the identification of HA in wave
numbers 3000-3600 cm-1, 1000-1045 cm-1 and 1300-1490 cm-1
indicating the presence of the O-H, P-O and C-O, respectively.
Antibacterial test has been done using disc diffusion method and
resulted that the capability of HA as antibacterial increasing with
the increase of ZnO concentrations. HA/ZnO 1:1 with a concentration
of 1000 ppm has inhibitory activity with a maximum diameter of 8
millimeters.keywords: Hydroxyapatite, ZnO, Sol gel,
Antibacterial.I. IntroductionHydroxyapatite (HA), Ca 10 (PO 4) 6
(OH) 2, is the main mineral constituent of bone and tissue sources
of calcium in living organisms. Synthetic HA is an inorganic
material that shows the versatile nature of biocompatibility,
bioactivity and osteoconductivity. HA also has the ability as an
antibacterial that can inhibit biofilm formation and colonization
of planktonic cells.1
HA is often modified with other metals to obtain superior
biological properties again. Some form of modification in the form
of the HA surface coating with another metal or metals deposited
there as well with the the matrix HA.1 Several studies have been
done conducted on several HA is coating with silver (HA/Ag) for the
purpose of obtaining the optimum capability HA and Ag as
antibacterial, against gram-positive bacteria and negatif2, as
antifungal Candida albicans1, with Zirconia (HA/Zr) to improve the
mechanical properties so more robust.3 In addition to Ag metal,
other metals that can be used to modify HA to be able to enhance
the biological capability as antibacterial, among others, can be
used with heavy metals oligodinamic high power, one of which Zn.
The use of Zn metal as a carrier of metal ions Zn2+ has high
antibacterial properties, good chemical stability, and relatively
low prices. Zn is known as an essential heavy metals, toxic metal
though, it is needed by the body for growth in very small amounts.
Toxicity owned Zn metal will effect when it enters the body in the
sheer number of large organisms or exceeds the threshold
toleransinya.4 Research on HA modified with Zn is expected to
improve the ability of HA as new in the field of inorganic
antibacterial.Tests conducted on the bacteria Escherichia coli
(E.colli) by disc diffusion method to look at the diameter of the
clear zone is not overgrown with bacteria. This bacterium is a
reasonable amount of beneficial bacteria for digestion, but if
excessive breeding can produce enterotoxin of E. coli as a cause of
some cases of diarrhea and meningitis.5 In this study, the method
used is the sol-gel method, because it has a better purity and can
be used at low temperatures, one of which is in the process of
synthesis HA.6II. Research Methodology 2.1. Chemicals, equipment

2.2. Research procedures
2.2.1 Modification of HA/ZnO
Into a 500 mL HA gel was added Zn (NO3)2 with various
concentrations of HA/ZnO 1: 0.25, 1: 0.5, 1: 0.75 and 1: 1.
Stirring during the process of adding a constant speed. After the
addition of Zn(NO3)2 is completed stirring process continued for 10
min and aging for 24 hours to form a gel. Obtained gel was heated
in a 70 C oven for 24 hours, powder in furnace at a temperature of
600 C. Powder is obtained HA/ZnO with a variation of 1: 0.25, 1:
0.5, 1: 0.75 and 1: 1.2.2.2 Antibacterial Activity Test
The process begins with a media NB, then carried to the culture
of E. coli, after 24 hours, the bacteria grow with marked turbidity
in NB media. Testing is done by setting the inhibition of 2 pieces
that have petridish NA containing solid media. Each sample is
tested against HA and HA / ZnO with a variation of 1: 0.75 and 1: 1
with a concentration of 500 and 1000 ppm diluted with distilled
water.
Petridis inserted into each each paper disc that has been soaked
in antibacterial solution (HA and HA / ZnO). At the center of the
petri paper disc placed as a negative control. After 24 hours of
observations were made of the clear zone are not overgrown
microbes. Measured against clear zone diameter and compared with a
standard diameter of the inhibition of HA and Zn on the growth of
bacteria.
III. Hasil dan Pembahasan3.1.Analysis of the results of
characterizationThe addition of Zn (NO3)2 as a source of Zn2+ to
form ZnO. Increasing the intensity of the color is directly
proportional to the increase in the concentration of Zn(NO3)2 is
added to the HA matrix, the composite ratio of HA/ZnO 1: 1 is the
intensity of the green color is more concentrated. Powder HA/ZnO
obtained at various concentrations is characterized by a wide range
of instrumentation equipment under the same conditions.
Characterization by XRD, conducted on 3 samples at calcination
temperature of 600 oC with a ratio HA/ZnO 1: 1, 1: 0.75 and HA
synthesis. XRD data of test results compared to the standards of
the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) for ZnO with
refference code 00-019-1463 and 01-075-9526 for refference code
hydroxyapatite.
Figure 1. diffractogram XRD results of HA/ZnO concentration
ratio 1:1 after calcination at 600 oC for 3 hours.The results of
XRD analysis in Figure 1 in the form of HA/ZnO variation in
concentration of 1:1 shows the best crystallinity with the highest
intensity at 2 angles 31,74o, while the peak for ZnO is found at an
angle 2 32,16o. HA crystals obtained system is hexagonal with space
group P63/m. The difference of the three samples HA/ZnO 1:1, 1:0.75
and HA synthesis seen in crystallinity and increase the intensity
of Zn(NO3)2. From the XRD data sample results, the more sources of
Zn were added to the HA will increase the intensity of the peaks
and minimize the width of the peak of HA. Thus modification of HA
with ZnO will increase the peak intensity and narrow peak width
thus increasing the crystallinity of HA.The analysis of Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) is very important to know the functional
groups found in the sample, whether it is in accordance with the
existing functional group on HA, Ca10(PO4)6 (OH)2. Some functional
groups that can be identified by FTIR, among others, the hydroxyl
group on the O-H bond P-O and C-O bond in the fingerprint region.
Of the three FTIR spectra as found in figure 2 seen a wide valley
that marks the OH stretching specific to HA over wave number 3000
cm-1 to 3600 cm-1. While the PO group stretching at 1000-1045 cm-1
wave number. CO group is found at 1300-1400 cm-1. At the peak of
1632 cm-1 seen the OH bending vibrations on the surface of the
sample. Additions of Zn on the HA does not affect the results of
its FTIR spectrum. So it can be concluded that, no new chemical
bonds are formed between HA with ZnO.

Antibacterial Activity of HA and HA/ZnO
Antibacterial test activities as an antibacterial agent against
E. coli is done by using the disc diffusion method. Where the
inhibition of antibacterial can be seen in the diameter of the
clear zone is not overgrown with bacteria and compared with the
negative control.
Figure 5 showed antibacterial test results on samples of HA,
HA/ZnO 1: 0.75 and HA/ZnO 1:1. The images show the diameter of the
clear zone on the concentration of HA/ZnO at a concentration of
1000 ppm of 1:1 by 8 mm, for HA/ZnO 1:0.75 at a concentration of
1000 ppm obtained clear zone size of 6 mm, while for the HA
concentration of 1000 ppm only obtained a diameter of 5.7 mm. The
results obtained show HA/ZnO 1:1 coined the inhibitory effect on
bacterial growth greater than HA/ ZnO 1: 0.75 and synthesis HA.
Figure 5. Clear zone around the growth of E. coli that has been
given a antibacterial HA and HA/ZnO (at a concentration of 500 ppm
and 1000 ppm).The ability of increasing inhibition, comparable with
the addition of Zn to the HA. The positive charge of the Zn2+ ion
and a negative charge on the bacterial cell membrane will cause
attraction between Zn2+ ions and negatively charged areas on the
bacterial cell wall to form an electrostatic bond. This will form
an electrostatic bond stress leads to damage the cell wall
permeability, reducing the normal intake of nutrients to sustain
life, causes cells to become dead.4 Thus, a growing number of Zn2+
in the sample, the greater the ability to inhibit the growth of E.
coli bacteria. IV. ConclusionModified hydroxyapatite with ZnO via
sol gel method has been successfully carried out. Analysis X-Ray
Difraction (XRD) showed that the addition of zinc can increase the
intensity and crystallinity of the sample. Spectrum of Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) shows, the presence of functional groups
suitable for the identification of HA which indicates the OH group,
PO and CO. Antibacterial test by disc diffusion method showed the
ability of HA as antibacterial increasing to an increase in the
concentration of ZnO. HA/ZnO 1: 1 at a concentration of 1000 ppm
maximum antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli with a
diameter of 8 mm.V. AcknowledgementsAcknowledgements profusely, the
