Rapid conversion of highly porous borate glass microspheres into hydroxyapatite (2021)
Journal Article
Islam, M. T., Macri-Pellizzeri, L., Sottile, V., & Ahmed, I. (2021). Rapid conversion of highly porous borate glass microspheres into hydroxyapatite. Biomaterials Science, 9(5), 1826-1844. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0bm01776k

This paper reports on the rapid development of porous hydroxyapatite (HA) microspheres with large external pores and fully interconnected porosity. These porous microspheres were produced by converting borates glasses (namely 45B5, B53P4 and 13-93B)...
