Nanocrystalline Apatites: Post-Immersion Acidification and How to Avoid It—Application to Antibacterial Bone Substitutes

Nanocrystalline Apatites: Post-Immersion Acidification and How to Avoid It—Application to Antibacterial Bone Substitutes

Biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites analogous to bone mineral can be prepared using soft chemistry. Due to their high similarity to bone apatite, as opposed to stoichiometric hydroxyapatite for example, they now represent an appealing class of compounds to produce bioactive ceramics for which drug d...
