Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is one of the main inorganic components of bones and teeth that has been extensively studied and employed in biomedical applications, such as bone grafting and dental implants, due to its biocompatibility and bioactivity. The crystallographic structure of this material allows for the addition of cationic and anionic ionic substituents in their three o…
