Abstract

A rapid microwave assisted solution combustion process is used to synthesize SrCaP and SrP whiskers. It is observed that SrP whiskers composed of Sr2P2O7 and Sr5(PO4)3Cl can be efficiently synthesized. However, co-existence of Ca2+ and Sr2+ ions in the reaction can inhibit one-dimensional crystal growth. The introduction of Cl− ions to the reacting system is the key to induce the crystal formation towards to one-dimensional structure. The as-synthesized SrP whiskers were characterized and evaluated for potential biomedical applications.
