Abstract
A method for obtaining a composite material including an aqueous solution of pectin and a suspension/solution of calcium phosphate mixed together, wherein said solution of pectin cross-links with a portion of the calcium obtained from the solution of calcium phosphate and wherein a portion of the calcium phosphate in suspension remains as inorganic phase and composite materials obtained by this method.
Claims16
A composite biocompatible gel material comprising an aqueous solution of pectin and a solution/suspension of calcium phosphate mixed together, wherein in said gel material the concentration of pectin is greater than the concentration of calcium phosphate, and wherein said gel material further comprises said pectin cross-linked with at least one portion of calcium phosphate and at least one second portion of calcium phosphate trapped to form an inorganic phase of calcium phosphate.
