Mechanisms of the Improved Biological Response with Silicate Substitution in Hydroxy Apatite
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioactive calcium phosphate based ceramic commonly used. as a bone graft substitute. The bioactivity of this material has been reported to be enhanced through site specific substitution of 0.8wt% silicate for phosphate into the HA lattice (SiHA). The aim of this thesis was t...
