Synthesis of Nanosized Calcium Deficient Hydroxyapatite by Microwave

Abstract

In this study, nanosized calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (KEHA) was synthesized using microwave irradiation. The synthesized powder was compared with a sample synthesized without using microwave with respect to the observed phases, particle size and powder morphology based on the XRD, particle size analysis and SEM observations. Studies showed that application of microwave has positive effects on the crystallization of the produced powders.
