Hydroxyapatite Synthesis and Comparison with Commercial Hydroxyapatite
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite HAs is the most commonly used synthetic, inert, and biocompatible material having no organic substance. HA having calcium phosphate in their structures are biomaterials used in injured organs or tissues in human body. These make quick and strong recovery when used in body. Besides, due to the reproductive characteristics of bone cells like HA structure and the stability of HA material in body fluid they are commonly used in biomedical applications. HA is very similar to the mineral structure of the bones and teeth, and is often used for synthetic bone grafts production. Because of these properties, the synthesis, isolation and commercialization of this kind of materials gain great importance. In this study, HA was synthesized with a precipitation and microwave radiation technique, and then the properties of synthesized HA are compared with the commercial HA. The characterization and comparison of the materials was made with various methods, general internal structure development and pore size relations were determined by FTIR, XRD and SEM.
