Synthesis and characterisation of nanohydroxyapatite using an ultrasound assisted method

Abstract: Nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HAP) was prepared by a wet precipitation method using Ca(NO 3 ) and KH 2 PO 4 as the main material and NH 3 as the precipitator under ultrasonic irradiation. The Ca/P ratio was set at 1.67 and the pH maintained at a minimum of 9. The temperature conditions and ultrasound influences were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that Nano-HAP can be obtaine… Show more

“…The average size range of Gel-HAP particles, over the set of gelatin concentration and temperature range, is 32 nm (± 5%). This is in excellent agreement with previous synthesis of nano HAP particle using a low power ultrasound assisted method [36] only these samples have gelatine incorporated in the nano HAP phase. Figure 2 presents the FT-IR spectra of pure HAP and Gel-HAP (2 ml, 40 ml, 100 ml Gel.…”

“…In addition, a recent study by Ethirajan et al in 2008 has shown the value of using high-powered ultrasounds in combination with a high concentrated solution of gelatine to generate GEL-HAP nanospheres by a reverse micellar method [35]. In 2009, Poinern et al [36] investigations into nano HAP indicated that the size, crystal structure and morphology of pure Nano-HAP spheroids were enhanced by the use of low power ultrasonic irradiation in the synthesis process.…”

“…However, a decrease of particle dimension is also observed with pure HAp particles prepared using HNO 3 after a similar ultrasound treatment. Several previous reports have demonstrated the ability of ultrasound to tune HAp particle size but these studies were devoted to particle growth from Ca 2+ and phosphate salts [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and often describes a continuous process occurring from an amorphous calcium phosphate phase to crystalline HAp. In these works, decrease of particle size upon irradiation was attributed to the formation of hot spots resulting from cavitation bubbles collapse that favor nucleation events.…”

“…Therefore many physical and chemical routes have been developed to obtain phosphocalcic apatites as high surface area powders from inorganic salts [12]. Of particular interest here are sonochemistry routes that allow control of the particle size and crystallinity through the modulation of irradiation power and duration [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. As a more sustainable alternative, a process allowing for the conversion of natural phosphate into porous hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) was recently described [22,23].…”

“…[8][9][10] Recently, the effects of ultrasound have also been investigated for different cases involving polymerization reactions and the syntheses of various amorphous and crystalline materials. Although, the benefit of using ultrasonic irradiation was confirmed, in some cases, as promising tools to assist the synthetic reactions to prepare fine ceramic powders, inorganic materials and catalysts, [11][12][13][14] the reaction mechanism in the aqueous suspensions is not fully understood.…”
