This review summarizes recent and very recent work on preparing substituted
hydroxyapatites. Ease of atomic doping or substitution in apatite opens this mineral up for a …

Handbook of Ionic Substituted Hydroxyapatites provides scientists and researchers with
comprehensive information on the synthesis processes of hydroxyapatite, also explaining …

Calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite have a wide range of applications both in bone
grafts and for the coating of metallic implants, largely as a result of their chemical similarity to …

Hydroxyapatite in the form of hydroxycarbonate apatite is the principal mineral component of
bone tissue in mammals. In Bioceramics, it is classed as a bioactive material, which means …

Publisher Summary Hydroxyapatite (HA or HAP) of biologic (coral-, bovine-or marine algae-
derived) or synthetic origin are currently used for bone repair and bone regeneration in the …

At present hydroxyapatite (HA) is been extensively investigated for biomedical applications,
largely as a result of its similarity in composition to the mineral portion of bone. Although HA …

The use of foreign materials to be used as implants within or outside the human body is not
new. There are reports of more than 2000 years old which indicate the replacement of bone …

Hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring form of calcium phosphate, is the main mineral
component of bones and teeth. Natural hydroxyapatite and bone have similar physical and …

The modification of the composition of apatite materials can be made by several processes
corresponding to ion exchange reactions which can conveniently be adapted to current …

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a bioceramic widely studied due to its chemical similarity with the
mineral component of bones. Besides, it is biocompatible, bioactive and thermodynamically …
