Abstract
The surface or interface of bone mineral is an important parameter in bone metabolism. In particular, this surface must play a role in the interchange of ions between the body fluids and bone mineral. This is a report on a study of the specific surfaces obtained on a series of synthetic hydroxyapatites. synthetic amorphous calcium phosphates, and bone samples, treated in different ways. The surface measurements have been made with gas adsorption and small angle X-ray scattering techniques. A comparison of the results obtained by these contrasting methods adds to our knowledge of the interface between bone mineral and the remainder of bone which is essentially water and collagen. In addition, this study gives a comparison of surface measurements made by these fundamentally different methods.Materials and Methods. 1. Synthetics. Large batches of a series of samples of poorly crystallized hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate were prepared by the method described by Eanes et al. (1). Surface area me...
