“…In addition, the nanoscale particle size and morphology of HA can control the sinterability, solubility, mechanical reliability, and osteoconductivity of HA [12,13]. It is important to investigate methods of fabricating HA powders at low temperature such as sol-gel [14,15], salt hydrolysis [16][17][18], electrochemical deposition [19][20][21][22][23], microemulsion [24], microwave irradiation [25], and hydrothermal reaction [26]. Using wet chemical methods to prepare HA powders usually 2 Journal of Nanomaterials results in fine-grained microstructures, even submicron-to nanocrystallites, which are better accepted by the host tissue.…”
