Anisotropy in Bone Demineralization Revealed by Polarized Far-IR Spectroscopy

Anisotropy in Bone Demineralization Revealed by Polarized Far-IR Spectroscopy

Bone material is composed of an organic matrix of collagen fibers and apatite nanoparticles. Previously, vibrational spectroscopy techniques such as infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy have proved to be particularly useful for characterizing the two constituent organic and inorganic phases of bone....
