title: Synthesis of hollow hydroxyapatite nanospheres by the control of nucleation and growth in a two phase system.
abstract: Hollow hydroxyapatite nanospheres were prepared by a two-phase approach by controlling nucleation and crystal growth processes. The cavities of hollow HA provide potential applications as new kinds of containers for carrying, filling in, or encapsulating other materials, thus constructing a multifunctional system with good biocompatibility.
