Low-cost processing technology for the synthesis of calcium phosphates/collagen biocomposites for potential bone tissue engineering applications

In the present study two novel composites of Calcium phosphates (CaP) and Collagen (COL) were synthesized, hydroxyapatite/Collagen (HA/COL) and hydroxyapatite-btricalcium phosphate/COL (HAbTCP/COL). Collagen was extracted from bovine pericardium submitted to enzymatic digestion and purification by i...
