PVP Assisted Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite Nanorods with Tunable Aspect Ratio and Bioactivity

Abstract: Highly crystalline and reasonably uniform hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods were prepared by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) assisted hydrothermal synthesis which produces high aspect ratio (length/width) nanorods. The aspect ratio of the nanorods was higher in the presence of PVP and increased with increasing concentrations of PVP. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the HA nanorods were of the hexagonal apatite phase. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffract… Show more

“…This is the possible mechanism for NHAp nanorod. The mechanism for the formation of HAp nanorod while adding PVP is clearly explained in the literature [18,[57][58][59]. The present study also strongly believed that the above mentioned same mechanism could be involved in the present NHAp.…”

“…For the formation of nanorod, large driving force could be acted to maximize the contact area and minimize the surface energy. PVP restricts growth along the side faces and activates growth along the end direction (c-axis), resulting in NHAp nanorods [57]. Many literature show that HAp prepared by precipitation method could be rod-like nanostructures preferably.…”

“…The calculated degree of texture index (David Nunez et al, 2014) for the synthesized hydroxyapatite is 0.51 indicating a preferred growth orientation along the c-axis (Nathanael et al, 2015). These results are consistent with electronic microscope images (Figure 1 b and c), which show fibrous needle-like particles with mean diameters of 20 nm and length of approximately 150 nm.…”

“…They described that the nanorods were stable in the solution and that they were well dispersed, avoiding particle aggregation, and reported a higher bioactivity in the nanorod-doped adhesive. In addition to these, other synthesis methods, as by sol–gel [ 173 ], spray drying [ 174 ], microware-assisted [ 175 ], sonochemical homogeneous precipitation [ 176 ], by a hard-template [ 177 ], polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-assisted hydrothermal method [ 178 ] have been described.…”
