Abstract:Calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate is a precursor material of hydroxylapatite; the mineral phase of calcified tissues, and is a biomaterial that is known to show high biocompatibility and resorbability in-vivo. It exhibits anisotropic growth and dissolution behaviors, and quite recently, its conversion kinetics into hydroxylapatite has been reported to alter on coatings with distinct crystal alignments. These imply that biological behaviors of polycrystalline calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate are affected… Show more
