Calcium carbonate thin films as biomaterial coatings using DNA as crystallizationinhibitor
Abstract
Synthetic, bio-inspired organic–inorganic composites are emerging as new materials for bone regeneration, offering more possibilities to tune biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical properties. Also thin films of calcium carbonate have been shown to have potential as models for bone replacement biomaterials. These calcium carbonate thin films can be formed using anionic
