Organic monolayer films with the same functional groups as collagen were prepared by a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method and the LB monolayers were soaked in a simulated body fluid. Nucleation of hydroxyapatite (HA) took place on the monolayers of the carboxyl group, while no nucleation occurred on the

## Abstract Canasite glassβceramics were modified by either increasing the concentration of calcium in the glass, or by the addition of P~2~O~5~. Samples of these novel materials were placed in simulated body fluid (SBF), along with a control material (commercial canasite), for periods ranging from
## Abstract Bioactive titanium metal can be prepared by NaOH and heat treatments that present the metal with a graded bioactive surface layer of amorphous sodium titanate. This study used laser electrophoresis together with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energyβdispersive Xβray microana
Wollastonite/tricalcium phosphate composites were prepared and immersed in SBF for various periods to investigate the apatite-formation mechanism on their surfaces. Surface morphologies and composition before and after immersion were analyzed by SEM and EDS technologies. The concentration changes of
