- This novel paper builds on an extensive body of internationally leading published work in the area of bioactive substituted hydroxyapatite materials. The method of synthesis developed herein provides for the creation of synthetic forms of hydroxyapatite apatite with properties closer to that found in natural bone. The results reported provided preliminary data for a successful £1.2M US-Ireland R&D partnership award (USI 111) funded by NSF (USA), SFI (RoI) and DfE (NI) which has extended the work to resorbable implantable orthopaedic fracture fixation devices. This paper led to an invited presentation at the International Workshop of Materials Physics, Bucharest, September 2020.
