“…The XRD patterns of synthesized POCAs showed the peaks attributed to the HA crystalline phase at around 22.6, 25.9, 28.2, 31.8, 32.1, 33.5, (111), (002), (210), (211), (112), (300), (202), (310), (222), (213) and (004) planes. 18) This XRD pattern was matched with the structural data of HA described in the Powder Diffraction File (JCPDS 09-432). However, all the peaks were broad diffraction peaks indicating a poorly crystallized HA phase.…”
