Abstract

Surface functionalized apatite nanoparticles were prepared by covalent grafting of nitrilotrismethylenetriphosphonates (NTP) into a mesoporous apatite layer, which has been converted from phosphate rock by dissolution-precipitation methods. BET measurements show that the specific surface area of the particles is between 88 and 193 m2/g, depending on the grafted phosphonate.
