Production, by co-grinding in a media mill, of porous biodegradable polylactic acid-apatite composite materials for bone tissue engineering [PDF]
This paper presents the results of a study of the production of porous biodegradable composite materials by co-grinding, followed by scaffolding. Dry powders of polylactic acid and nanocrystalline carbonated apatite, analogous to bone mineral were co ...

Apatites commonly adopt P63/m hexagonal symmetry. More rarely, monoclinic chemical analogues have been recognized, including the biologically significant hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, but the driving force towards lower symmetry has not been systematically examined.

U–Pb Dating, Gemology, and Chemical Composition of Apatite from Dara-e-Pech, Afghanistan
Minerals of the apatite group commonly occur in granite pegmatites, and their ability to incorporate a wide range of trace elements makes them a good indicator of magma composition and magmatic–hydrothermal processes.

Ultrasonic Implantation of Bioactive Glass Particles into Poly(methyl methacrylate) Substrates [PDF]
Poly(methyl methacrylate) substrates were immersed in suspensions containing bioactive 50CaO・50SiO(2) (mol%) glass particles (45 μm in diameter) and a 6:4 (volume fraction) mixture of ethanol and THF, and an ultrasonic energy was applied to the system. A

Gemological and Mineralogical Studies of Greenish Blue Apatite in Madagascar
Madagascar is known as the ‘Island of Gemstones’ because it is full of gemstone resources. Apatite from Madagascar is widely popular because of its greenish blue Paraiba-like color. This study analyzes apatite from Madagascar through standard gemological

Detrital zircon and apatite (U‐Th)/He geochronology of intercalated baked sediments: a new approach to dating young basalt flows [PDF]
Simple numerical models suggest that many basaltic lava flows should sufficiently heat the sediments beneath them to reset (U‐Th)/He systematics in detrital zircon and apatite.
