Water-based sol–gel synthesis of hydroxyapatite: process development
TL;DR: Hydroxyapatite ceramics synthesized using a sol-gel route with triethyl phosphite and calcium nitrate as phosphorus and calcium precursors suggest its suitability for load-bearing uses.

Structural evolution of sol-gel-derived hydroxyapatite.
TL;DR: The apatite prepared using current process exhibits a nano-scale, low-crystallinity, carbonated apatitic structure, which closely resembles that of human bone apatites.

Development of novel TiO2 sol–gel-derived composite and its photocatalytic activities for trichloroethylene oxidation
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the processing of sol-gel-derived titanium dioxide composites has been developed and investigated for the purpose of producing thick films and self-supported photocatalysts.

Novel biomimetic hydroxyapatite/alginate nanocomposite fibrous scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration
TL;DR: Preliminary in vitro cell study showed that rat calvarial osteoblasts attached more stably on the surface of the HAp/alginate scaffolds than on the pure alginates, indicating that the unique nanofibrous topography combined with the hybridization of HAp and alginate can be advantageous in bone tissue regenerative medicine applications.

Development of plasma-sprayed bioceramic coatings with bond coats based on titania and zirconia
TL;DR: Microstructural investigations by SEM on cross-sections of coatings leached in simulated body fluid for up to 28 days led to the conclusion that the chemically very stable bond coats act as an improved chemical barrier against in vivo release of metal ions from the implant.
