In this study, wollastonite nanoparticles were synthesized and calcined at different temperatures. The resulting particles were added to a polymeric gelatin containing drug, and the gelatin/wollastonite nanocomposite was prepared as a carrier for gentamicin drug. The structure and morphology of the prepared particles and composites were evaluated using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The results showed the synthesis of single-phase wollastonite nanoparticles with sizes less than 10 nanometers, which agglomerate in some regions. The drug delivery rate in phosphate buffer solution, as analyzed by UV analysis at λmax=201 nm, indicated rapid degradation of the composite, with about 60% of the drug delivered in the initial hours and complete delivery after 2 days. Therefore, it can be concluded that the resulting composite is biodegradable and has the potential to be used as filler for bone defects and local drug delivery.
