                         multi-walled carbon nanotubes (VAMWCNT-O2) are promising for their 
                         properties and bone tissue biocompatibility. VAMWCNT-O2 films with 
                         nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) aim to improve mechanical properties and 
                         biocompatibility of this new nanocomposite due to its resemblance 
                         to bone matrix structure. This study aimed to produce in vitro 
                         biomineralized nHAp/VAMWCNT-O2 nanocomposites using simulated body 
                         fluid (SBF) with two different pHs (6.10 and 7.40) during 7 days 
                         to obtain a new surface design with higher crystalinity and better 
                         morphology of nHAp/VAMWCANT-O2 nanocomposites. The objective is to 
                         obtain biomineralized nanobiomaterials to enable its applicability 
                         as scaffold to cellular support and consequent bone tissue 
                         formation, accelerating the osseointegration. Layer densification 
                         has been achieved due to polycrystalline nanoapatites deposition 
                         on surface and between the biomineralized nHAp/VAMWCNT-O2 
                         nanocomposites, without any heat treatment. Therefore, through its 
                         characteristics and properties these nanocomposite applications 
                         can be considered extremely viable for acceleration of in vivo 
                         regenerative processes.",
