Abstract
Shuttle/flower-like hydroxyapatie crystals have been fabricated by a simple hydrothermal treatment under the combined action of sodium citrate and a pluronic triblock copolymer (F127). The morphology characterization results demonstrate that the hierarchical flower-like hydroxyapatite microcrystals are evolved from the one-dimensional hydroxyapatie nanoshuttles. The effects of the additives and hydrothermal time on the morphology are studied. Based on the experiment results, this work presents a possible growth mechanism for the hydroxyapatite morphology. Remarkably, the adsorption experiments results exhibit that the HAP microflower have fast adsorption ability for heavy metal ions.
