described. Thus, two different hydroxyapatite morphologies (cauliflower- and plate-like) have been formed. Overall, this study shows that crosslinking elastin-likerecombinamers leads to interesting matrix materials for the generation of calcium phosphate composites with potential applications as
biomaterials.

Combination of the specific properties of two materials is often a key to generating a new material, whose properties are superior to those of its individual components, with improved
