A Facile Synthesis Route to Prepare Microtubes from Phosphate Glass Fibres

Fabrication of calcium phosphate microtubes is performed utilizing a simple dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism, to form amorphous microtubes with sizes of the order of 10 to 20 mu m. Raman microspectroscopy gives more understanding of the degradation and formation mechanism.
