Stability-limited ion-exchange of calcium with zinc in biomimetic hydroxyapatite

The exchange of Ca2+ ions in hydroxyapatite (HAp) with Zn2+ ions into Zn-HAp is of interest for applications ranging from bone tissue engineering to the use as a precursor in subsequent ion-exchange reactions. Previous studies, using direct synthesis, showed that ~ 20 mol% Zn2+ ions can be incorpora...
