In this work, dual roles of silicate in the crystallization of HAP in simulated body fluids were revealed. At lower concentrations of silicate (0.05-0.5 mM), it promoted the nucleation of HAP, and the lower the amount of silicate, the faster the HAP nucleation. In contrast, at higher silicate concentrations (3-8 mM), it inhibited the nucleation of HAP.
