Abstract

Despite being one of the mostly studied biomaterials for orthopedic, dental, protein purification and stem cell applications, electrical properties of hydroxyapatite has received only limited attention. Since the prediction in 2005 of the possibility of piezo and pyroelectricity in hydroxyapatite several theoretical and experimental works in this field may lead to new understandings of electrical behaviors of calcified tissues in vertebrates. Also, the ability of creating discrete electrostatic domains on nanocrystalline films of hydroxyapatite will open the possibility of understanding how surface charge influences biological interactions. The outlook for future endeavours in this field will be discussed.
