Carbon sphere influence on textural properties and bioactivity of mesoporous bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite

Novel Mesoporous Cationic Substituted Hydroxyapatite Particles for Multipurpose Applications

“…Several synthesis routes have been reported to prepare HANA particles having distinct morphologies. These include template-assisted methods [10] (hard templates, such as silica [11] and carbon spheres [12], and soft templates, including droplets [13], micelles [14], vesicles [15] and gas bubbles [16]), self-assembling [17] and biomimetic methods [18]. Zhang et al [19] employed CTAB surfactant and synthesized microspherical and microflowers-like HAP particles using the hydrothermal route.…”

Enhancing in vitro bioactivity and in vivo osteogenesis of organic–inorganic nanofibrous biocomposites with novel bioceramics

“…Our laboratory and other groups have reported that MGHA can be fabricated using carbon spheres and P123 as co-templates. [19][20][21] Recently, Cicuéndez et al rst reported a one-pot process to prepare hierarchical mesomacroporous three-dimensional (3D) MGHA scaffolds by a rapid prototyping technique. In particular, the amine chemical modication of their surfaces signicantly improved the biocompatibility of the nanocomposite scaffolds.…”
