Abstract
Human bone mineral is different in composition from stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) in that it contains additional ions, of which CO32- is the most abundant species. Two macroporous carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (CHA) scaffolds were prepared by treating a macroporous CaCO3 column (porosity, 88%; pore and hole size, 160 and 71 μm), prepared in this study, hydrothermally at 120 °C in 1 M phosphate solutions of (NH4)2HPO4 and...
