Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been extensively utilized in the field of biomaterials as a bioactive ceramic. Development of modified-HA by the substitution of Ca ions and OH− groups not only makes its chemical composition similar to that of the natural bone tissue, but also improves the in vitro behavior...
