Evidence of a transient phase during the hydrolysis of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite

Jacques Lemaître

In the present paper, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def OHAP) has been examined in a transmission electron microscope. During the observation, the initial Ca-def OHAP was seen to transform first into a transient intermediate phase, then to a final, ...

Atomistic simulation of bio-relevant ionic and organic species interacting with rutile - Towards the understanding of apatite formation

Azade Yazdan Yar

Atomistic simulation methods, namely molecular dynamics and well-tempered metadynamics, are used in this thesis to investigate apatite formation from different aspects. First, ions which are more abundant in SBFs under physiological conditions were identif ...

Flexoelectricity in Bones

Dragan Damjanovic

Bones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone’s self-repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main str ...

Bacterial iron reduction and biogenic mineral formation for the stabilisation of corroded iron objects

Julien Maillard, Arnaud Michel Gelb

Exploiting bacterial metabolism for the stabilisation of corroded iron artefacts is a promising alternative to conventional conservation-restoration methods. Bacterial iron reduction coupled to biogenic mineral formation has been shown to promote the conve ...
