Template synthesis of ordered macroporous hydroxyapatite bioceramics.
Ji L., Jell G., Dong Y., Jones JR., Stevens MM.
Hydroxyapatite has found wide application in bone tissue engineering. Here we use a macroporous carbon template to generate highly ordered macroporous hydroxyapatite bioceramics composed of close-packed hollow spherical pores with interconnected channels. The template has advantages for the preparation of ordered materials.
