Gelatin is an ideal medium to transfer calcium phosphate because it is biocompatible, biodegradable, cheap, and can be injected without open surgery. The interaction of calcium and phosphate with gelatin will be studied; these include solubility, titration and precipitation. The calcium phosphate/gelatin composites will be characterized by chemical analysis, x-ray powder diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. The mechanical strength, such as DTS, will also be investigated. Publisher National Institute of Standards and Technology, Technology Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.
