Additional information

Recreating natural mineralization to build composites is very attractive but extremely challenging. This work demonstrates a new strategy for the mineralization of hydrogels that mimics bone formation. The work provides important data on the parameters that control mineralization in natural and synthetic systems and a new path for the fabrication of composites (e.g.for healthcare applications). The results supported two successful proposal applications:“Novel nanocomposites for bone regeneration,” NIH ($2.5M) and “Biomimetic organic-inorganic hybrid structural materials”, Marie Curie Fellowships (€200K) and have been highlighted in invited talks including the MRS Spring Meeting (2012) and the European Ceramic Society Meeting (2011).
