Hydroxyapatite, as a major constituent of the inorganic part of natural human bones, is a natural choice and one of the most frequently applied materials for the reparation and regeneration of bone tissue. The formation ...

In this communication we describe the preparation of HAp/PLLA biocomposites by hot pressing of HAp powder with PLLA of different molecular weights, with and without the addition of collagen. We made PLLA of low molecular ...

In the past several years, the accent of a number of scientific researches in the countries of the European Union, USA and Japan was focused on the field of biomaterials. Having the direct influence on the quality and ...

The great importance of hydroxyapatite in the field of biomaterial science inspires researchers to investigate various approaches to adjust and improve existing and to find out new useful properties of this class of ...

The purpose of biomaterials is to replace a part or a function of the body in a safe, physiologically and economically acceptable way. The process of the reconstruction of bone defects has always been a big problem in ...

Poster presentation at the PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 2010. 10th International Conference on Fundamental and Applied. Aspects of Physical Chemistry, Belgrade, Serbia, September 21-24, 2010

Hydroxyapatite nanopowders were prepared in the presence of different concentrations of zirconium ions. Such crystallization conditions yielded significantly reduced particle size and increased specific surface area. Cell ...

Hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (HAp/PLLA) composite biomaterial with PLLA of 50,000 and 430,000 g/mole molecular weight was studied in vivo. The biocomposite with PLLA of both molecular weights was implanted into mice and ...

The loss of teeth and damage to the jaw bone occur under different circumstances. The deficit may be the result of wearing inadequate dentures, residual ridge resorption, osteoporosis, periodontal disease, trauma, tumors, ...
