Synthesis And Characterisation Of Calcium Phosphate Nanoshells Using DOPA and DPPA Liposome Templates

Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are very useful biomaterials in bone tissue engineering due to their excellent biological properties. The major difficulties facing in most of the synthesising methods are the size and the shape-controlling of CaP particles. Therefore, the aim of this project is to synthesi...
