Application


  • Exploration of Whitlockite Nanostructures for Hemostatic Applications.: This study explores the use of Whitlockite nanostructures, synthesized using calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, for their potential in hemostatic applications. The findings suggest that these nanostructures can significantly enhance blood clotting, making them a viable option for medical use (Jain et al., 2024).

The present study delineates the synthesis and characterization of cobalt doped proangiogenic-osteogenic hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite samples, doped with varying concentrations of bivalent cobalt (Co(2+)) were prepared by the ammoniacal precipitation method and the extent of doping was measured by ICP-OES. The
