INVESTIGATION INTO THE FORMATION AND MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF A BIOACTIVE MATERIAL BASED ON COLLAGEN AND CALCIUM-PHOSPHATE

A biomaterial composite was formed by the room-temperature precipitation of calcium phosphate (in the form of brushite) on to collagen. It was found that the addition of 1 mM O-phosphoserine (Ser P) causes the morphology of the brushite crystals to change from large plates to small needles. An incre...
