Acclerated microwave processing of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite

The main objective of the present work is to synthesize pure HA nanocrystals in a rapid way by microwave processing using suitable starting materials to avoid unnecessary substitutions. The selected materials will also maintain required pH conditions (pH > 9.0) for the synthesis of HA with out an...

Description
Summary:The main objective of the present work is to synthesize pure HA nanocrystals in a rapid way by microwave processing using suitable starting materials to avoid unnecessary substitutions. The selected materials will also maintain required pH conditions (pH > 9.0) for the synthesis of HA with out any ammonium hydroxide addition, which is generally added to maintain necessary pH condition to avoid calcium deficient apatite formation with other precursor materials.
