Role of Aspartic and Polyaspartic Acid on the Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Brushite

Role of Aspartic and Polyaspartic Acid on the Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Brushite

Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) is one of the mineral phases indicated as possible precursors of biological apatites and it is widely employed in the preparation of calcium phosphate bone cements. Herein, we investigated the possibility to functionalize DCPD with aspartic acid (ASP) and poly-as...
