Handbook of Ionic Substituted Hydroxyapatites

Hydroxyapatite is not a new material, however, continuous studies and modifications have been conducted with respect to its size, shape and physical structure. Furthermore, many researchers have been trying to substitute hydroxyapatite with various ions (cations and anions). However, the optimized ratio is still questionable and there is a lack of scientific information available. Handbook of Ionic Substituted Hydroxyapatites finally fills the knowledge gap and provides scientists and researchers with comprehensive information on synthesis processes of hydroxyapatite, as well as explaining the application of substituted hydroxyapatite. The content is very structured and explanatory, starting with a detailed overview of the structure of biological apatite in bones and teeth, as well as a presentation of the analytical tools for hydroxyapatite. Bioceramics and the relative modern and emerging processing techniques are covered, as well as 3-D printing, which has been gaining increasing importance within Biomedical Materials and use of Hydroxyapatite in Tissue Engineering. In order to offer a critical point of view on the topic, both advantages and disadvantages of using ionic substitutions in clinical application are presented. Its unique and modern content makes this book highly suitable for students and researchers in disciplines, such as Material Science, Ceramicis, and Bioengineering. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners and surgeons within Orthopaedics, Perio/Implantology and Maxillo-facial disciplines and professionals working in R&D in the ceramics and pharmaceutical industries.
