Formation on Synthetic Precursors of Hydroxyapatite. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1991, 164 (1), 37 …

Dehydration of OCP at temperatures below 180 shifted the 18.4-A. line progressively to
lower spacings. Theline disappeared upon elimination of about two-thirds of the hydrate …

Amorphous structures represent about 20% of the 60 or so different mineral types formed by
the action of living organisms [Lowenstam and Weiner, 1989]. Among these biogenic …

The kinetics of hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation by direct hydrolysis of α-tricalcium phosphate
(α-TCP)[α-Ca 3 (PO 4) 2] have been investigated. Transformation kinetics were examined for …

The structure of the Ca–P solid phase in bone was first identified by deJong in 1926 as a
crystalline calcium phosphate similar to geological apatite by chemical analyses and, most …

It was demonstrated by X-ray diffraction that bone mineral from mature cows, humans and
Wistar rats, contained a non-crystalline calcium phosphate in addition to the well-known …

Differences in physical and chemical properties of fluorapatite, hydroxyapatite, and
chlorapatite are discussed in the light of detailed knowledge of atomic positions provided by …

Specially prepared biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) macroporous ceramics consisting of
an intimate association of beta tricalcium phosphate (b̃‐TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) with b̃ …

Nine samples of Ca-deficient apatite (Ca-def Ap) were prepared from suspensions of
CaHPO4 (monetite) at 90° C by raising the pH from∼ 4 through release of NH3 produced by …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) was prepared by stirring amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), which
contained occluded Cl− as a tracer ion, in distilled water buffered to pH 7.4 by tris-HCl at 25 …
