Morphology and formation mechanism of hydroxyapatite whiskers from moderately acid solution

Hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers with uniform morphology and good crystallinity were successfully prepared by a precipitation-hydrolysis method in moderately acid solution at 85-95 °C for 48-120 h, their lengths were in the range of 50-150 mum and aspect ratios (length/diameter) in the range of 40-100....
