Crystallographic Aspects Regarding the Insertion of Ag+ Ions into a Hydroxyapatite Structure

The objective of this study was to evaluate how silver can be inserted into hydroxyapatite (HA) via two distinct processes: co-doping with CO32- via precipitation in an aqueous medium and immersion of preformed HA crystals into Ag+ solutions. It was concluded that although Ag+ and Ca2+ have differen...
