Data detailed in 'Calcium phosphate formation in gelatin matrix using free ion precursors of Ca2+ and phosphate ions' have been presented. According to a study from the United States, "Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/gelatin (GEL) nanocomposite has been developed as a bone substitute. The nanocomposite formation in the GEL matrix is greatly affected by the reaction between Ca(2+) and phosphate ions."

"The mineralization of GEL macromolecules was investigated through a co-precipitation of calcium phosphates (Ca-P) by using free ions of Ca(2+) and phosphate ions, Pi. The purpose of this study was to prepare a dense HAp/GEL nanocomposite through a free ion production process. Free...
