Impact of Side Chain Polarity on Non-Stoichiometric Nano-Hydroxyapatite Surface Functionalization with Amino Acids

Abstract In this study the affinity of three amino acids for the surface of non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (ns-nHA) was investigated under different reaction conditions. The amino acids investigated were chosen based on their differences in side chain polarity and potential impact o...
