Nucleation and growth of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals by hydrothermal method

Hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesized by using a hydrothermal method with Ca(NO3)2·4H2O and H3PO4. We use x-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electron microscopy to investigate how pH, reaction temperature, hydrothermal-reaction time, and calcium-ion concentration affects the microstructure...
