✦ Synopsis
The variables affecting the nucleation and crystallization of biological hydroxy carbonate apatite (HCA) on porous gel-silica substrates are examined. Texture is the critical variable with the rate of HCA formation increasing as pore size and pore volume increase, with pore sizes >2 nm required to achieve rapid kinetics (4-6 days) of fully crystallized HCA. The concentration of silanol groups on the silica surface does not control the rate of HCA formation although metastable surface defects, such as trisiloxane rings, may be involved in HCA nucleation.

## Abstract Porous silica may be formed by anodization of silicon in a neutral fluoride electrolyte. Applying a high potential leads to initiation of porous layer growth, which may be pursued at lower potentials. We have tried to improve our understanding of the growth process. Initiation of the gr
This study has been carried out to investigate the bioactivity of rutile and to deposit hydroxyapatite (HA) on heat-treated titanium through a biomimetic method. Biomimetic deposition of HA has gained large interest because of its low deposition temperature and good step coverage; however, it demand
