Substituted Hydroxyapatites with Antibacterial Properties

Table 1

Antibacterial activities of zinc-loaded calcium phosphate nanostructures. The samples A, B, and C were prepared by different routes: A—the obtained precipitate was dried and heated at 200°C for 3 h before Zn-loading; B—the collected wet product was directly used for Zn-loading; and C—prepared at 70°C for 10 h (rewritten from [94] with permission).

B		95.98		99.97		86.87
