Ostrich Eggshell as an Alternative Source of Calcium Ions for Biomaterials Synthesis

Ostrich Eggshell as an Alternative Source of Calcium Ions for Biomaterials Synthesis

Ostrich eggshells are a potentially abundant and a high purity and low cost source of calcium to produce β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) and Hydroxyapatite (HA), important calcium phosphates used as biomaterials. Here, we use a wet precipitation procedure to synthesize these phosphates using ostrich...
