Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers and crystals were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of Ca(OH) 2 and CaHPO 4 ·2H 2 O. Different conditions relative to pH=6–14, temperature=60–140 °C have been investigated in order to ascertain their influence on the HA particle structure and morphology. Results have shown that pH value is a significant parameter variable in altering the morphology. Well elongated particles were obtained on condition that pH=9 and temperature=120 °C. These HA whiskers were single crystals with an aspect ratio>20, a typical diameter and length of 40 and 600 nm, respectively.
