1. From bone to bioactive ceramics
1.1 Bones and bone substitutes
From a materials science perspective, vertebrate bones can be defined as mineral-organic nanocomposites with an elaborate, controlled architecture. The organic matrix consists of type I collagen molecules, organized in a triple helix 1.2 nm in diameter and 300 nm in length, resulting from extracellular self-assembly. These molecules form fibrils with a particular organization, leaving gaps between successive molecules (figure 1 a )
