Abstract
Provided is a composition for a scaffold having a mineral coating similar to bone. Also provided is a method for mineral coating a scaffold so as to promote mineral coating of the scaffold with a plate-like nanostructure and a carbonate-substituted, calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite phase.
Claims3
A mineral coated scaffold comprising a matrix material, wherein the mineral coating comprises a carbonate-substituted, calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite component;
- and wherein the mineral coating comprises about 97% hydroxyapatite and about 3% octacalcium phosphate, the mineral coating has about 90% to about 100% crystallinity, a porosity between about 20% and about 28% and a plate-like nanostructure.
