Magnesium phosphate pentahydrate nanosheets: Microwave-hydrothermal rapid synthesis using creatine phosphate as an organic phosphorus source and application in protein adsorption

Magnesium phosphate pentahydrate nanosheets (MPHSs) have been synthesized using creatine phosphate as a biocompatible organic phosphorus source by the simple, low-cost and rapid microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The MPHSs have a good cytocompatibility and a high ability to promote osteoblast MC-3T3 cell adhesion and spreading, as well as a relatively high protein adsorption ability, thus, are promising for applications in biomedical fields.116
