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:

Preparation and Characterization of Composites Based on Poly (Butylene Succinate) and Poly (Lactic Acid) Grafted Tetracalcium Phosphate
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of poly (l-lactic acid) grafted TTCP/PBS composites were prepared via melt processing, and the results revealed that l-lactide could be grafted onto the surface of TTCP and the best mechanical properties when the content of g-TTCP was 10-wt%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles and their Biomedical Potential
TL;DR: Nanostructured calcium phosphates are promising biomaterials for applications in biomedical areas, such as tissue engineering scaffolds, drug/gene delivery systems, vaccine adjuvants, contrast agents for imaging and multi-modal imaging, nanosystems for photodynamic therapy and antifungal/antibacterial agents.
