Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Biomaterials with High Specific Surface Area
The Doctoral Thesis is devoted to synthesis and characterization of amorphous calcium phosphate materials with emphasis on their specific surface area. Ways of optimization of an existing synthesis method are investigated experimentally as well as the development of a new synthesis method for obtaining amorphous calcium phosphate with specific surface area value close to the biological calcium phosphate (>100 m2/g). Amorphous calcium phosphate obtained with the developed method is studied for its structure, stability, thermal properties, furthermore, dense amorphous calcium phosphate bioceramics has been developed using the principles of cold sintering process. The developed biomaterials are intended for bone tissue replacement and regeneration. The Thesis is prepared as a collection of articles. It contains a summary and four publications.
