Abstract
Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) is utilized widely in biomaterials due to its capacity to enhance bone growth and compatibility with various manufacturing techniques. Traditional hydrothermal methods for synthesizing HA from green mussel shells (Perna viridis) typically involve long synthesis times, high temperatures, and elevated costs. This study explores a microwave-based hydrothermal method as a more cost-effective and efficient alternative for synthesizing HA from green mussel shell waste. The synthesis involves blending calcined green mussel shells with diammonium hydrogen phosphate [(NH4)2HPO4], followed by microwave irradiation for 1, 3, 5, and 7 minutes at 80, 240, and 400 watts. Analysis of the synthetic powder used analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX). The synthesis conditions were optimized using a microwave power of 240 watts and a 3-minute synthesis duration, yielding HA with a nano-crystallite size of 1.5–1.7 nm and a HA crystalline weight percentage of 90.7 %. FTIR analysis confirmed functional groups such as phosphate (PO43), hydroxyl (OH−), and carbonate (CO3), indicating the formation of a carbonated nanocrystalline HA phase. The synthesized powder displayed an irregular structure with agglomeration containing nanocrystalline HA and demonstrated potential for biomaterial applications.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
