Preparation and characterization of abalone shells derived biological mesoporous hydroxyapatite microspheres for drug delivery

Synthesis and visible-light photocatalytic degradation of Ag3PO4/AgBr/hydroxyapatite ternary nanocomposites prepared from oyster shells

“…How to make full use of these natural resources, reduce environmental pollution and simultaneously obtain high-value products is a problem facing all countries in the world. To solve this problem, our research group prepared a series of hydroxyapatite (HAP, Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) materials with different morphologies (including nanorods, 13 prism-like crystals, 14 microspheres, 15 etc. ) from discarded oyster shells or abalone shells, which were used in biological materials and bone repair materials and achieved good results.…”

Targeted Delivery Methods for Anticancer Drugs

“…There are currently many approaches for synthesizing CaP-based nanoparticles, and the careful selection of synthesis conditions makes it possible to control the size and morphology of the resulting particles [173][174][175][176]. Although nanoparticles with different morphologies are used for delivery in cancer therapy, including rod shapes [169,177], porous structures [178,179], and core-shell shapes [180,181], spherical nanoparticles are the most commonly used since they are more thermodynamically stable [182,183].…”

Tailoring hydroxyapatite microspheres by spray-drying for powder bed fusion feedstock

“…A growing interest for the production and employment of HAm on diverse applications, including AM technologies [26][27][28] and biomedical fields [29][30][31][32] can be observed in an increase of the number of research works focused on these materials during the most recent years. Though, it can be observed that not many studies are focused on the production of HAm through SD, neither on the evaluation of the experimental conditions on the final dried HAm properties (e.g., flowability).…”
