3. Biomimicry of biominerals: choosing properties to imitate
The development of biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites is particularly appropriate in the biomedical field (§ 5 ) given the pre-existence of apatite nanocrystals in vertebrate skeletons for millions of years, and therefore their "intrinsic" biocompatibility and high surface reactivity.
It may be interesting to classify apatites according to their characteristics, which are more or less similar to those of bone apatite – and thus...
