Animal trial on zinc doped hydroxyapatite: A case study

Calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp) has widely been used as bone substitute due to its good biocompatibility and bioactivity. In the present work, hydroxyapatite was doped with zinc (Zn) to improve its bioactivity. The study reports the technique to synthesize Zn-doped HAp powder using a simple, economic r...
