Nanocrystalline Zn and SO binary doped fluorohydroxyapatite: A novel biomaterial with enhanced osteoconductive and osteoinconductive properties.

In this study, we have successfully doped hydroxyapatite (HA) with zinc (Zn), sulphate (SO) and fluoride (F) ions to develop a new composition of bioceramic, Ca Zn(PO)(SO)(OH)F(SO), (x = 0, 0.2, 0.6, 1.
