Liquid crystals are mostly formed by self-assembly of organic molecules. In contrast,
inorganic materials available as liquid crystals are limited. Here we report the development …

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys exhibit an excellent prospect for orthopedic clinical
application due to their outstanding biodegradability and mechanical adaptability. However …

In this study, ultrasonic-assisted electrodeposition is used to prepare uniform and smooth
hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on the surface of the braids, which can be potentially applied as …

To remove membrane fouling, a bio-electrochemical system that can generate a micro-
electric field and micro-current was constructed. After 11 days of operation, the trans …

This study compared the lead (Pb 2+) immobilization efficacy of biochar-supported
phosphate to conventional in-situ heavy metal immobilization methods (with lime, neat …

Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is classified as a low-temperature phase of calcium
phosphate (CaPs); it is a widely used ceramic material in biomedical applications …

Investigation of thermostability will lead the groundbreaking of unraveling the mechanism of
influence of ion-doping on the properties of calcium phosphates. In this work, octacalcium …

Bone defects caused by trauma, infection or bone tumor resection, are highly prevalent. A
small number (5%–10%) of these injuries fail to heal due to non-union and require surgical …

Biocompatible tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) bone cement is widely used as dental and bone
repair material; however, its long setting time, poor injectability and low initial mechanical …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) stabilized by acidic macromolecules is a useful
material for the development of environmentally friendly composites. In this study, we …
