K. Yamashita et al., ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION OF BONE-LIKE CRYSTAL-GROWTH ON CERAMIC HYDROXYAPATITE BY ELECTRIC POLING, Chemistry of materials, 8(12), 1996, pp. 2697
Bone-Like crystals were acceleratingly grown in a simulated body fluid
on the negatively charged surface of electrically poled hydroxyapatit
e ceramics, while the crystal growth was completely inhibited on the o
pposite surface. The poling effect was generalized by the enhanced cry
stal growth on the poled ferroelectric ceramics of BaTiO3 and CaTiO3.
