Biomimetic Material
Our contribution:
We perform biomimetic synthesis of apatite-gelatine nanocomposites. The comprehensive investigation of biomimetically grown composite aggregates as well as dental hard tissues of vertebrates holds the chance to get more insight into the general principles of very early scenarios of biomineralization and to understand the unique structures and properties of nanocomposite materials of biological hard tissues. Parallel to these investigations we are also developing the efficient biomimetic synthesis approach apatite-protein (gelatine) nanocomposites that are suitable for dental repair applications.
