Abstract

Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based nanoparticles containing functional substances such as DNA and Ag are biocompatible and biofunctional element blocks that are useful as agents for drug and gene delivery and as building blocks for higher-order biomaterials. Such CaP-based nanoparticles can be synthesized via precipitation from labile supersaturated CaP solutions supplemented with functional substances. In this chapter, conventional and laser-assisted precipitation processes for the synthesis of CaP-based nanoparticles are described with a focus on our recent studies. Both precipitation methods are simple (one-pot), rapid (nanoparticle formation occurs within a few tens of minutes), free of harmful additives, and capable of controlling the physicochemical and biological properties of the CaP-based nanoparticles. These characteristics represent advantages for future in vitro and in vivo applications of these precipitation processes and the resulting CaP-based nanoparticles.
