An Insight to the Various Applications of Hydroxyapatite
Summary
This review examines the diverse applications of hydroxyapatite beyond bone repair, covering its use in biomedical implants, bioimaging, chromatographic separation, catalysis, surface coatings, and energy storage, while highlighting emerging application areas.
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring calcium phosphate widely used in biomedical applications because of its osteoconductivity, biocompatibility and it possesses the closest chemical similarity to natural bone. Hydroxyapatite is also a versatile material and can be used in a plethora of ways beyond biomedical applications. This review summarises the applications of hydroxyapatite in biomedical, bioimaging, separation, purification, catalysis, surface treatment and energy storage applications. Finally, this review aims to shed light on its potential for new applications of hydroxyapatite in the future.
