The formation of hydroxyapatite by co-precipitation from sodium alginate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose aqueous solutions with the use of dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate and calcium hydroxide as starting reagents is studied. A technique to prepare the hydroxyapatite/polysaccharide (micro)granules is developed. An introduction of an antimicrobial Biocide 1 agent in proper amount into the granules is provided, and the behavior of the granules is evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
