Preparation of hierarchically organized calcium phosphate–organic polymer composites by calcification of hydrogel
A novel type of calcium phosphate–organic polymer composite having a hierarchical structure was prepared by calcification of a poly(acrylic acid) hydrogel. Macroscopically, an organic gel containing phosphate ions was transformed into an opaque solid material by diffusion of calcium ions. We observe...
