PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIPHASIC CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CONSISTING OF TETRACALCIUM PHOSPHATE AND α-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE

Abstract

Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) particle consisting of -tricalcium phosphate and tetracalcium phosphate was synthesized from calcium carbonate and calcium hydrogen phosphate. The Ca/P molar ratio of the product was 1.80. Uni-morphologically controlled BCP particles were synthesized without mixing.
