DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/855006/calcium_orthophosp) has announced the addition of the "Calcium Orthophosphates: Applications in Nature, Biology and Medicine" book to their offering.
Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists use this property extensively to construct artificial bone grafts that are either entirely made of or only surface-coated with the biologically relevant calcium orthophosphates. Porous scaffolds made of calcium orthophosphates are very promising tools for tissue engineering applications. A comprehensive overview of calcium orthophosphates, this book highlights their importance and biomedical uses.
Key Topics Covered:
- Calcium Apatites and Other Calcium Orthophosphates
- Amorphous Calcium (Ortho)Phosphates
- Nanodimensional and Nanocrystalline Calcium Orthophosphates
- Calcium Orthophosphates as Bioceramics; Self-Setting Calcium Orthophosphate Formulations: Cements, Concretes, Pastes and Putties
- Calcium Orthophosphate-Based Biocomposites and Hybrid Biomaterials
- The Dissolution Mechanism of Calcium Apatites in Acids
- History of Calcium Orthophosphates
