Fluorapatite-Gelatine-Nanocomposites: Self-Organized Morphogenesis, Real Structure and Relations to Natural Hard Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biomineralization I

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((TOPCURRCHEM,volume 270))

Abstract

The biomimetic system fluorapatite-gelatine (in aqueous solutions) is perfectly suited for the study of biomimetic steps closely related to steps in osteo- and dentinogenesis. Although representing a relatively low level of complexity, the biomimetic system still includes all aspects of complexity, such as metastability, self assembly, self-similarity, fractals, pattern-formation, hierarchy, and others. The present review is focused on the morphogenesis and real structure of fluorapatite-gelatine-nanocomposites and is structured in a sequence from macroscopic/bulk-properties to mesoscopic and finally microscopic observations, in part also supported by atomistic simulations. The field encompasses a large variety of components reaching from basic science to applications.
