Hydroxyapatite (HAP) for Biomedical Applications Hardback
Edited by Michael Mucalo
Part of the Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials series
Hardback
Description
Hydroxyapatite in the form of hydroxycarbonate apatite is the principal mineral component of bone tissue in mammals.
In Bioceramics, it is classed as a bioactive material, which means bone tissue grows directly on it when placed in apposition without intervening fibrous tissue.
Hydroxyapatite is hence commonly used as bone grafts, fillers and as coatings for metal implants.
This important book provides an overview of the most recent research and developments involving hydroxyapatite as a key material in medicine and its application.
