Mechanochemical synthesis of hydroxyapatite/titanium nanocomposite

Synthesis, bioactivity and zeta potential investigations of chlorine and fluorine substituted hydroxyapatite

“…Note that the structural features of HA powders were repeated for one group; (0 0 2), (2 1 1) and (3 0 0) Miller's planes family [1]. The average of these measurements was selected as mean fraction of crystalline phase, crystallite size and lattice strain.…”

Structure–property relationships of iron–hydroxyapatite ceramic matrix nanocomposite fabricated using mechanosynthesis method

“…This dissolution is more pronounced with amorphous HAp compared to crystalline HAp as reported by Xue et al [7]. However, the brittle and low strength properties of HAp have been identified as the root cause for bone substitute and coating failures [8][9][10]. Attempts to overcome this limitation have been done recently, mostly by developing HAp composites.…”

“…Attempts to overcome this limitation have been done recently, mostly by developing HAp composites. The HAp brittleness is ameliorated by incorporating titanium (Ti), mangan (Mn), and zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) into HAp, where this metallic reinforcement has improved HAp densification and crystallinity [9,11,12].…”

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Fluorapatite-Zinc Oxide (FAp-ZnO) Composite Nanopowders

“…Based on the EDX point chemical analysis, no chemically stable contaminants were detected due to the excessive adhesion of powders to the milling media. It should be mentioned that the use of polymeric vial have been proposed in the authors' experiments not only to annihilate contamination problem, but also to achieve modified morphologies with high biomedical performance [23,[31][32][33]. Figure 3(a) shows the XRD profile of CaO, P 2 O 5 , and CaF 2 powder mixture in the presence of 5 wt.% ZnO after 5 h of milling.…”
