abstract |
Since the pioneering experiments of Carlisle, silicon has been proposed to play a
key role in the process of biomineralisation. Consequently, there has been a significant
body of research that seeks to incorporate silicon substitutions into the apatite
lattice. Recent work has also seen the modification of unsubstituted apatite to incorporate
functional groups onto the surface of apatite crystals in order to attach specific
enzymes, drugs, or other therapeutic biomolecules. In this study, we have modified
the surface of apatite nanocrystals with thiol functional groups. The silicon substituted
HA with thiol were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. |
