Abstract
Antibacterial activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) or strengthening of hydroxylapatite whisker (HAPw) had been studied and applied widely. However, antibacterial property of ZnO-HAPw was scarcely researched nowadays. The aim of this study was to further investigate several kinds of morphologies of ZnO-HAPw prepared by sol-gel technology at different pondus hydrogenii (pH) value and temperature. Four kinds of morphologies of ZnO-HAPw were granule, triangle, short rod and gongs nail at 70°C and pH=6.4, 37°C and pH=6.6, 70°C and pH=6.6, 70°C and pH=6.6. The SEM images of HAPw and ZnO-HAPw samples showed that the HAPw surface was smooth and no difference after annealing treatment. In addition, different shapes of nanoZnO fused uniformly on the HAPw surface. The EDS indicates nanoZnO fuses on HAPw surface.
