Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems

This text provides a comprehensive discussion on calcium phosphates in the diverse areas of their applications. Developments as well as a review of current concepts highlights the individual contributions. Due to the broad scope of the subject covered and the large number of contributions this book is divided into three parts. Whilst each section contains a basic theme there is a considerable overlapping of ideas and approaches. This reflects the interdisciplinary nature of investigations by researchers interested in dissimilar aspects of calcium phosphates.
