Surface modification of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles

This report presents a study of the surface modification of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HNPs) through the use of phosphonate functionalized dendrimers. Successful sysnthesis of the dendron substituted with phosphonate functional group enables attachment to the nanoparticles. The tags were characte...
