Abstract

Hydroxyapatite(HAp, Ca$\sub$10/(PO$_4$)$\sub$6/(OH)$_2$, is a compound with structural and chemical resemblance bone mineral and of particular importance in the field of biomaterials. In addition to the non-toxicity and high compatibility with hard and soft tissue, HAp exhibits strong affinity to host hard tissues and protein molecules. However, HAP is difficult to shape in the specific forms due to its hardness and brittleness. (omitted)
