Biomimetic synthesis and ultrastructural characterization of a zerovalent gold-hydroxyapatite composite.
This manuscript describes one-pot, in situ synthesis of organoapatite-gold nanoparticle composite and its characterization by XRD, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, atomic force, and scanning electron microscopy. This methodology offers a different approach into the synthesis of zerovalent metal-mineral-phase nanocomposites having potential application as osteointegrative ceramics.
