Zeta potential measurement in bioactive collagen

The focus of this work is to show the influence of surface charge on the bioactivity of modified collagen fiber surface. Because silica plays an important role on bone mineralization process, silica obtained by a sol-gel process was used as a surface modification agent. Zeta potential (xi) of silica...
