Probing the surface activity of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles through their interaction with water molecules

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nano-HAPs) are often used to promote the performance of various biomaterials, but their surface activity can be hardly evaluated directly. An indirect approach of using water molecules as a probe to measure the surface activity of nano-HAPs is proposed in this work. The...
