Nanocrystalline stoiochiometric calcium hydroxyapatite, Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 (NCHA), a counter part of the inorganic osseous tissue component, is synthesized under biomimetic conditions. Methods of physico chemical analysis (XRD, IRS, derivatography, DSC, ESCA, SEM, TEM) are used to identify the products of synthesis. The temperature dependence of thermally stimulated currents (TSCs) of NCHA is studied in the temperature range of 300-600 K and the effect of the dispersion degree on TSCs is analyzed.
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.
