Phosphorous (P) is an indispensable element for all life forms. Even though P is applied to
the soil mostly in fertilizer, it has been found to be inefficient, because only a small portion of …

Autogenous bone and metallic implant grafting has been used to repair and regenerate
bone defects. However, there are still many unresolved problems. It is suggested that …

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAP) were successfully synthesized using a high-gravity
precipitation method. Crystal structure and morphology of the nHAP were confirmed by X-ray …

Human population has set in motion productive systems through which huge energy and
resource flows are extracted and manipulated causing various negative externalities. In this …

The surface structure and hydrophilicity of synthetic nanocrystalline apatite with strongly
bound citrates on their surface are here investigated at the molecular level, by combining …

We report on the preparation of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles with high specific surface
area, terminated with calcium-rich {0 1 0} facets, and their subsequent surface …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite [HA, Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2], the main constituent of bones and teeth
enamels, is a widely studied and employed biomaterial. Its applications span from dental to …

Nanometric particles and crystals play very important roles in biological systems. For
example, calcium orthophosphates (abbreviated as CaPO4) of nanometric dimensions …

Citrate and fluoride ions are two constituents of dental enamel hydroxyapatite (HA)
nanocrystals. Their individual effect on HA crystallization has already been studied, and it …

We used humic and fulvic acids extracted from digestate to formulate nanohybrids with
potential applications in agronomy. In order to obtain a synergic co-release of plant …
