Silicon (Si) substitution in the crystal structures of calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics such
as hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) generates materials with superior …

This review examined the literature to spot uses, if any, of physiological solutions/media for
the in situ synthesis of calcium phosphates (CaP) under processing conditions (ie …

α-Tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is widely used as a reactant in calcium phosphate cements.
This work aims at doping α-TCP with silicon with a twofold objective. On the one hand, to …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main mineral component of natural bone and an important
synthetic biomaterial. The surfaces of this material are critical as the biological action takes …

Introduction Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the principal inorganic constituent of human bone. Due
to its good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, all kinds of HA particles were prepared by …

The mechanical properties and electronic structure of α-and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP)
crystals are studied by using two ab initio density functional methods, the Vienna Ab initio …

Porous scaffolds of biphasic calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-
TCP)) have been fabricated and changes induced both in phase composition and porous …

Vacancies, impurities, and foreign ions dissolving in calcium phosphate bioceramics play an
important role in the biological properties of the materials. However, little is known about the …

For bone grafting applications, the elaboration of silicon containing beta-tricalcium
phosphate (β-TCP) was studied. The synthesis was performed using a wet precipitation …

In this work, the influence of the morphology of hydroxyapatite particles on silicon
substitution through hydrothermal synthesis performed under the same conditions was …
