Abstract

In the present work, synthesized sugarcane juice stabilized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA NPs). The synthesis was carried out using different concentrations (5, 10, and 15 ml) of sugarcane juice. The HA-NPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope coupled with energy dispersive studies (SEM-EDAX). The morphology and elemental analysis were assessed by transmission electron microscope attached with selected area diffraction (TEM-SAED). The structure and morphology analysis of the synthesized HA-NPs indicate that the particles are crystalline in-phase and spherical. The morphology study of samples indicated that discrete and less agglomerated particles were produced at a high concentration (15 ml) of juice. This study reveals that sugarcane juice acts as a stabilizing agent as well as an organic modifier for the synthesis of HA-NPs.
