Abstract

Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) has been successfully biodecorated with carbohydrate derivatives, via silylation of the hydroxy groups of the apatite and subsequent covalent bonding with a suitably functionalized carbohydrate moiety. The presented procedure opens the way toward covalent biofunctionalisation of CHA with carbohydrates.
