Fabrication of Encapsulated Silicagel Microsphere with Hydroxyapatite for Sustained-Release

Article Preview

Abstract:

Apatite nuclei were precipitated in the pores of silicagel microspheres by raising pH of simulated body fluid (SBF). By a soak in SBF, hydroxyapatite (HAp) was induced from the apatite nuclei and spread over whole surface area of the silicagel microspheres. Then encapsulated silicagel microspheres with HAp were fabricated.
