Nickel hydroxide/hydroxyapatite nanorods as affinity adsorbents for separation histidine-tagged proteins

Novel Nanostructured Na+, Cu2+(Zn2+),CO32−‐HAP/Alginate Composite Scaffold: Fabrication, Characterization and Mechanical Properties

“…Hydroxyapatite (HAP), Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 , and its derivatives have received an extensive attention due to a considerable industrial, technological and biotechnological interest. It is widely used in the repair, reconstruction, and replacement of diseased or damaged parts of bones and teeth owing to its high biocompatibility and bioactivity, [1][2][3] as catalyst of organic reactions, [4][5][6] adsorbent for separation of proteins, [7,8] carrier for antimicrobial effect or drug carrier [9][10][11][12] etc. Properties of apatite depend strongly on cation/anion substitution in its framework and stoichiometry.…”

Rod-like hydroxyapatite and Nafion nanocomposite as an electrochemical matrix for simultaneous and sensitive detection of Hg2+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+

“…It has attracted considerable scientific interest in the past decades due to its easy preparation, excellent biocompatibility, rich active sites, good ion-exchange and adsorption capacity [22]. For example, it has been used as adsorbent for chromatographic separation of protein and enzyme [23], as catalyst for alcohols dehydration [24], and as basic material for artificial teeth and bones preparation [25]. In recent years, based on the rich active sites and excellent biocompatibility, the nanosized HAP has also been synthesized and utilized as a functional material in fabrication of modified electrodes for detecting various species.…”
