TL;DR: Calcium phosphate nanoparticles as carriers of therapeutic agents that would enable a controlled drug release to treat a given bone infection and at the same be resorbed in the body so as to regenerate hard tissue lost to disease are emphasized as one of the potentially attractive smart materials for the modern medicine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the major achievements from the field of materials synthesis within reverse micelles since the first such synthesis was performed in 1982 until today, to possibly open up new perspectives of viewing the typical problems that nowadays dominate the field, and to hopefully initiate the observation and generation of their actual solutions.

TL;DR: A rather richer, dynamical role of reverse micelles, with potential significance in the research and design of complex, self-assembly synthesis pathways, as well as possible adoption of their application as an aspect of biomimetic approach is suggested herein.

TL;DR: It is argued that although zeta potential has been used as one of the main parameters in controlling the stability of colloidal dispersions, its application potentials are much broader and coupling the DLS-based microelectrophoretic systems with complementary characterization methods is mentioned asone of the prosperous paths for increasing the information output of these two analytical techniques.

TL;DR: Ten of the peculiar properties of hydroxyapatite are sketched, ranging from the crystal lattice flexibility to finite piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity and conductivity to protons, and beyond.
