An Alternative Approach to the Surface Methacrylation of Non-stoichiometric Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles for Use in Bone-Inspired Composites
Modification of the inorganic particle surface is one approach toward enhancing the mechanical and swelling properties of a bone-inspired composite. In this study we sought to manipulate the surface of non-stoichiometric nHA particles by utilizing a gentler methacrylation approach with two different...
