Abstract

Labile environments of carbonate and HPO4 present in synthetic poorly crystalline apatites, analogous to bone mineral crystals, can be easily and reversibly exchanged. Such reactions depend on the maturation stage of the apatites and are related to both the short range order and organization of the crystals and their specific surface area. Similar reactions may also occur in bone mineral altering its properties and function as an ion reservoir in vivo.
