α-Tricalcium phosphate: Synthesis, properties and biomedical applications
TLDR
It is as biocompatible as β-TCP, but more soluble, and hydrolyses rapidly to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, which makes α- TCP a useful component for preparing self-setting osteotransductive bone cements and biodegradable bioceramics and composites for bone repairing.About:

Biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds with controlled pore size distribution prepared by in-situ foaming.
TL;DR: A reproducible method of fabricating hierarchically 3D porous scaffolds with high porosity and pore interconnectivity is reported, which provides a better control over the macrostructure of the scaffold.

Silver deposition on polypyrrole films electrosynthesised onto Nitinol alloy. Corrosion protection and antibacterial activity
TL;DR: The electrosynthesis of polypyrrole films onto Nitinol from sodium salicylate solutions of different concentrations is reported and the morphology and corrosion protection properties of the resulting coatings were examined, suggesting an increase in the amount of non-oxidised segments in the polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano‑calcium phosphate bone cement based on Si-stabilized α-tricalcium phosphate with improved mechanical properties.
TL;DR: Results revealed that nano-CPC enhanced proliferation and spreading of osteoblast like cells compared to control (tissue culture plate) which could be due to both appropriate physical and chemical properties of nano- CPC which stimulate cell proliferation.
