The effect of chemical structure of carboxylate molecules on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. A structural and morphological study

Being the most abundant non-macromolecular organic component of bone, the role of citrate (Cit) in hydroxyapatite (HA) crystallization is of high relevance. In this work we have investigated the influence of hydroxycitrate (CitOH) and glutarate (Glr) on HA crystallization in terms of particle growth...
