These findings highlight that the most critical physicochemical parameters for these nanoporous hydroxyapatite are, the crystallinity that controls dissolution potential, the specific surface area and the size and shape of crystallites.
Our findings highlight that the strong affinity of GFs with the ceramic surfaces, demonstrated by a slow GFs release, is enhanced by the large surface area, confinement into mesopores of ceramics and high difference of surface charge between ceramic surfaces and GFs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
