“…These additives, also called templates, can be polymers, surfactants, and biomolecules [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] that assist in the control and changes of material properties. The literature reports that the use of substances such as caffeine, starch, vitamin C, albumin, gelatin 18,[23][24][25] as templates/additives affect the physico-chemical properties of the HAp particles. The use of sucrose has been widely reported for studies related to the formation of porous scaffolds 26 However, there are studies that aim the synthesis of other materials, such as that carried out by Sabbaghan et al 27 who reported the use of sucrose for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, motivating its use as a template in the synthesis of HAp.…”
