Powder Characterization of Calcium Phosphate/Collagen for Bone Implant Application

Calcium phosphate (CaP) is a type of bioceramic material that is biocompatible and bioactive. It is usually used for bone implant application but it lacks mechanical strength. Therefore, sodium alginate (SA), a natural polymer, is combined with CaP to improve its properties of the CaP via precipitat...
