Synthesis and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite-Based Nanostructures: Nanoparticles, Nanoplates, Nanofibers and Nanoribbons

Article Preview

Abstract:

Material science is taking an increasing important role in bioengineering and biomedical sciences, aiming to develop new systems and materials capable of adapting to the highly demanding environment of a living organism. One of those materials, Hydroxyapatite (HAp), is the principal calcium orthophosphate present in the mineral phase of bone.
