Physicochemical characterization and in vitro biocompatibility assessment of hydrothermally synthesized hydroxyapatite from oyster shells
Naturally produced Hydroxyapatite (HAP) yields beneficial attributes with regards to its biological functions including cell compatibility, proliferation and osteoinduction. This study synthesized HAP from oyster shells as a calcium source with multiple hydrothermal reaction times including 1 h, 6 h and 24 h at 150℃. A...
