Sodium citrate as an effective dispersant for the synthesis of inorganic-organic composites with a nanodispersed mineral phase.
TLDR
Various dispersants were evaluated for their potential to be used as biocompatible dispersants in the synthesis of biomimetic composites with a nanodispersed mineral phase and tribasic sodium citrate was selected as the most effective dispersant for the stabilization of calcium phosphate (CaP) suspensions.About:

Calcium phosphate cements for bone substitution: chemistry, handling and mechanical properties.
TL;DR: An overview on the chemistry, kinetics of setting and handling properties (setting time, cohesion and injectability) of CPCs for bone substitution, with a focus on their mechanical properties shows that, although the mechanical strength of CPC's is generally low, it is not a critical issue for their application for bone repair.

Efficacy of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles as Phosphorus Fertilizer in Andisols and Oxisols
TL;DR: In this paper, nano-sized and bulk-sized Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (n-HAP) were evaluated as a potential fertilizer to improve P efficiency based on the hypothesis that nano-size particles can potentially move in the soil and reach the plant roots through the mass flow of soil water to roots created by transpiration.
