In this paper, the synthesis of nanosized powders β -Tricalcium phosphate β -Ca3(PO4)2 was studied by the wet chemical method at different values of reaction temperature, initial concentration of diammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH4)2HPO4, calcium nitrate tetrahydrate Ca(NO3)2·4H2O addition rate, pH of reaction and aging time. All these parameters have a great impact on the properties of the resulting β-TCP nano powders. Analysis results of morphology, structure of TCP powder from infrared (IR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the synthesized TCP powder had spherical crystal shape with crystallite size, calculated by XRD method, less than 60 nm, mono and biphasic structure composed of βTCP with pyrophosphate calcium or hydroxyapatite. The variation of the synthesis conditions did not affect the morphology, but it affect the size of crystallites and particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
