Eight dissolution models of calcium apatites (both fluorapatite and hydroxyapatite) in acids
were drawn from the published literature, analyzed and discussed. Major limitations and …

Osteocytes are involved in mechanosensation and mechanotransduction in bone and
hence, are key to bone adaptation in response to development, ageing and disease. Thus …

The coal gangue has occupied the farmland and caused severe pollution to the surrounding
environment, which was discharged with vast amount as a by-product of coal mining and …

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium
orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists …

The biogenesis of inorganic/organic composite materials such as bone typically involves the
process of templated mineralization. Biomimetic synthesis of bone-like materials therefore …

A novel hard transmission X-ray microscope (TXM) at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation
Lightsource operating from 5 to 15 keV X-ray energy with 14 to 30 μm2 field of view has …

The two main pathways for the growth of calcium phosphates are either via the addition of
monomeric chemical species to existing steps or via the attachment of precursor particles …

The remarkable properties of bone derive from a highly organized arrangement of coaligned
nanometer-scale apatite platelets within a fibrillar collagen matrix. The origin of this …

The incongruent dissolution of feldspar is associated with the formation and evolution of Si-
rich amorphous interfacial structures during its chemical weathering. The stoichiometry of …

Polymeric micelles consisting of asymmetric triblock copolymers were successfully used for
fabrication of robust hybrid nanoparticles with highly biocompatible calcium phosphate …
