Fabrication of Novel Biodegradable α-Tricalcium Phosphate Cement Set by Chelating Capability of Inositol Phosphate and Its Biocompatibility

Figure 1

XRD patterns of the prepared α-TCP powders with and without IP6 surface modification. Closed circles indicated typical α-TCP peaks, and closed triangles indicated typical HAp peaks. The single-phase α-TCP was maintained up to 120 minutes of milling, and the α-TCP powders over 120 minutes of milling were composed of both α-TCP and HAp phases.
