  • Title: Morphology control of hydroxyapatite microcrystals: Synergistic effects of citrate and CTAB.
    Author: Yang H, Wang Y.
    Journal: Mater Sci Eng C Mater Biol Appl; 2016 May; 62():160-5. PubMed ID: 26952410.
    Abstract:
    Using hydrothermal treatment and with the synergistic regulating effects of citrate and CTAB, various 3D hierarchical superstructure of hydroxyapatite (HAp) microcrystals were synthesized by simply adjusting the Ct/CTAB ratio and calcium-citrate complex (CC) morphology. The resulting superstructure was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) etc. With the shape transformation of CC from sphere-like colloid, nano-needle to lamellar-like particles, the final products were hollow spheres, bunched-like microrods and nanorod clusters, respectively. A possible mechanism for the formation of HAp hierarchical microstructure was proposed.
