Abstract
ABSTRACTThe present work describes synthesis of nanohydroxyapatite using a modified sol-gel method with calcium nitrate and ammonium hydrogen phosphate as calcium and phosphorous starting materials. Diluted natural rubber latex was used as a template material. The effect of Ca:P (1.50–1.67) ratios and calcination temperature (600, 700, and 800°C) on the properties of synthesized hydroxyapatite (HAp) were investigated. All HAp samples were characterized using XRD, FT-Raman, EDX, and TEM. XRD results confirmed the formation of a HAp phase with traces of a β-TCP phase. Nanoscale irregular plate-like particles were observed in synthesized HAp using natural rubber latex as a templating agent.
