In vivo inspired conditions to synthesize biometic hydroxyapatite.
Résumé
Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite is prepared by neutralization of acidic calcium-phosphate precursors and can be carbonated by the addition of gas or aqueous carbonate precursors. The latter leads to substituted apatite with a combination of A/B-type sites that shows a close similarity to deproteinated bovine compact bone as evidenced by 13C NMR.
