Recent Progress on hydroxyapatite-Based Dense Biomaterials for Load Bearing Bone Substitutes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main mineral component of bone tissue, representing ca. 69 vol% in bone and up to 98 vol% in dental enamel. Its chemical composition close to the mineral phase of bone is the origin of its excellent biocompatibility to tissue bone. Hydroxyapatite has been applied in orthopaedics as block implants, porous, granules and coa
