Schematic illustration of a hypothesized mechanism for the growth of calcium phosphate crystals over time. When a deposition voltage is applied, the pH value in the vicinity of electrode increases, and some calcium phosphate crystals deposited onto the surface of PLLA nanofibers. Further increase of deposition time leads to the generation of hydrogen bubbles and larger flower-like crystals.
