Reflecting the advances made in recent years, this is a comprehensive overview of calcium orthophosphates for bioceramics and biocomposites with a special focus on the detailed description of all those available, including their biological and geological occurrence, preparation, chemical composition, structure-property relationships and applications. In particular, the book discusses the suitability of these orthophosphates for biomedical applications and their use as bone grafts in surgery and medicine.
The result is a useful reference for researchers with an academic, medical or commercial background.

Giới thiệu về tác giả
Sergey V. Dorozhkin received his MSc in chemical engineering with honors in 1984 from Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology, Moscow, Russia, and his Ph D in chemistry in 1992 from the Research Institute of Fertilizers, Moscow, Russia. From 1992 to 1994 he worked as a senior researcher at the same institute, and from 1994 to 1996 he worked as a biotechnologist at a Swiss-Russia joint venture. From 1996 to 2004 he held five postdoctoral positions in France, Portugal, Germany and Canada where he worked on various aspects of calcium orthophosphates. Dr. Sergey V. Dorozhkin has authored more than seventy research papers, about twenty reviews, fifteen book chapters and three monographs.
