Abstract:: There exists a unique class of orthophosphates in which both the phosphorous and metal atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen, therefore, to form metal phosphates. Various kinds of metal phosphate particles have many applications of uses in pigments, catalysis, adsorbents, and bioceramics. It is well known that calcium hydroxy apatite(Hap), a kind of calcium phosphate particles, also shows a high affinity for proteins and much attention has been focused on Hap and substituted Hap nanocrystals as sorbe… Show more
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.
