Highly repeatable synthesis of nHA with high aspect ratio

Hydroxyapatite with different aspect ratios such as nano dots, sheets, rods and fibers were synthesized by the hydrothermal and precipitation methods respectively. It is not difficult to synthesize nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) with a low aspect ratio using published methods. However, it is still a challenge to synthesize nHA particles with a high aspect ratio, such as nHA fibers, using a well-controlled and repeatable method. In this study, we...
