Production and characterisation of a collagen-calcium phosphate composite for use as a bone substitute
A composite for use as a bone substitute has been produced by the precipitation of calcium phosphate onto a collagen matrix. A collagen sheet is used as a membrane separating reservoirs of calcium and phosphate ions. The ions diffuse through the membrane and calcium phosphate precipitation occurs on...
