A block copolymer micelle template for synthesis of hollow calcium phosphate nanospheres with excellent biocompatibility

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Jul 4;48(52):6532-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc32279j. Epub 2012 May 24.

Abstract

We report synthesis of hollow calcium phosphate (CaP) nanospheres with high surface area by using block copolymer micelles as templates. The obtained CaP nanospheres exhibit very high biocompatibility, showing great promise for intracellular bio-applications in future.
