Additional information

The work described in this paper, funded by an FP 7 Marie Curie Fellowship (PIIF-GA-2009-236739 FP7 IIF) marks an important step in the development of high performance bioinorganic hydroxyapatite nanocomposites for application in bone scaffolds for biological load-bearing devices. It details the innovative application of natural fibrous clays as a template for hydroxyapatite nanocrystal growth, and quantifies the heterogeneous critical nucleus size of HAP as templated by the clay structures. The paper shows nano-clays are more advantageous than collagen fibers in terms of higher elastic modulus and low cost, which has great potential in developing load-bearing biomedical devices.
