Collagen mineralization is a biological process in many skeletal elements in the animal
kingdom. Examples of these collagen‐based skeletons are the siliceous spicules of glass …

Bone, as a mineralized composite of inorganic (mostly carbonated hydroxyapatite) and
organic (mainly type I collagen) phases, possesses a unique combination of remarkable …

Biomimetic material development takes inspiration from biological materials and organisms
that possess extraordinary properties or appearance, such as excellent mechanical strength …

Amorphous calcium phosphates (ACPs) represent a metastable amorphous state of other
calcium orthophosphates (abbreviated as CaPO4) possessing variable compositional but …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced collagen fibrils serve as the basic building blocks of natural
bone and dentin. Mineralization of collagen fibrils play an essential role in ensuring the …

This review paper on amorphous calcium phosphates (ACPs) provides an update on
several aspects of these compounds which have led to many studies and some controversy …

Bone is a hierarchically structured composite material which, in addition to its obvious
biological value, has been well studied by the materials engineering community because of …

The study of biomineralization is not only important to gain an understanding of how mineral-
rich tissues are created in vivo but also because it is a great source of inspiration for the …

The unique and frequently beautiful morphologies that characterize many biominerals have
long been a source of fascination. While research began by looking first at individual …

Biologically formed hard tissues, referred to as biominerals, have intrigued the materials
engineering community for years because of the high degree of crystallographic control that …
