The Synthesis Of Nanosized Hydroxyapatite Powders

Nanometer sized hydroxyapatite particles are synthesized via wet chemical precipitation and characterized. This research studies how key parameters such as the pH of synthesis, and also the reaction, aging and calcination temperatures affect the size and phase purity of the hydroxyapatite produce...
