Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the major mineral constituent of vertebrate bones and teeth. It has
been well documented that HAp nanoparticles can significantly increase the biocompatibility …

Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate apatites constitute the main inorganic part of hard
tissues, and a growing focus is devoted to prepare synthetic analogs, so-called “biomimetic” …

Chemical precipitation followed by hydrothermal processing is conventionally employed in
the laboratory-scale synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and extensive information on its …

Nanocrystalline apatites are major constituents of hard tissues, and attempts are made
worldwide to prepare synthetic analogs. However the impact of synthesis/postsynthesis …

Bone is a natural nanocomposite. Its mineral component is nanocrystalline calcium
phosphate apatite, whose synthetic biomimetic analogs can be prepared by wet chemistry …

Nanocrystalline apatites mimicking bone mineral represent a versatile platform for
biomedical applications thanks to their similarity to bone apatite and the possibility to (multi) …

The time-evolution of calcium phosphate precipitation by vapor diffusion has been studied
by in situ confocal Raman microspectroscopy. A hanging drop configuration within a device …

We successfully controlled the morphology of hydroxyapatite (HAp) grown in a solution
system based on simulated body fluid (SBF). Nanometric low-dimensional forms, such as …

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

Calcium phosphate precipitation was carried out in the presence of l-aspartic acid (l-asp,
iep= 2.77), l-alanine (l-ala, iep= 6.00), and l-arginine (l-arg, iep= 10.76) at different …
