Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioceramic material widely used in medical applications. Due to the high bioactivity and ability to promote better cell activities in the biological environment, HA is used in drug delivery applications and implants development applications. HA can be prepared by several synthetic routes and by using natural resources. In the present work, HA was produced from wet chemical synthesis method. The produced HA was characterized by electron microscopy to study the morphology and size of the HA crystals. X-ray diffraction studies have been carried out to analyze the produced HA. Then the powder was heated to 1000 °C to verify the level of purity. After heating to 1000 °C, from the XRD analysis, no appearance of new peaks corresponding to any other phase except HA confirms the level of purity of synthesized HA. The results demonstrate a simple and potential route to synthesize nano-HA. The produced nano-crystals were identified with acicular morphology with an average size of ∼100. The demonstrated simple route helps to produce economically nano-HA which can be used for drug delivery carrier and biomaterials applications.
