The results indicate that the chemical link lies in the hard character of the trivalent metal ions. Metal ions with the hardest character appear to have the best chance of reacting with oxygen atoms of the phosphate groups at nucleation sites of hydroxyapatite. This disrupts the nucleation and thus prevents calcification in glutaraldehyde treated biological tissue. | Source Title: | Biomaterials | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/77319 | ISSN: | 01429612 | DOI: | 10.1016/0142-9612(93)90193-6 |
