Surfactant-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of Fluoridated Hydroxyapatite nanorods

Laser-treated electrospun fibers loaded with nano-hydroxyapatite for bone tissue engineering

“…The rod-like shape of the nanoparticles is more clearly seen in TEM images (Figure 1 c). The FTIR spectrum of the material presents the characteristic bands for PO43-appearing at 472, 572 and 603cm -1 related to the asymmetric bending, and signals assigned to symmetric and asymmetric stretching positioned in the 900-1200 cm -1 range (Taheri et al, 2015). The broad peak around 3455 cm -1 is due to the adsorbed water on HAn structure and the absorption peak at 1635 cm -1 is attributed to the bending mode of OHgroups (Mary et al, 2016).…”

Fluoridated hydroxyapatite nanorods as novel fillers for improving mechanical properties of dental composite: Synthesis and application

“…Gao et al [29] analysed the nanostructure of enamel and concluded that the strength of tooth came from the geometry and nano size of these nanostructures in rod form. There are many studies on the mechanical properties of dental resin with different fillers and techniques [32][33][34]. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is no study or evidence on the effect of FHA in nanorods structure as reinforcement of dental composites on the mechanical properties.…”

“…The rod structure is due to the application of ATG as a surfactant at the appropriate pH. The mechanism of FHA formation in rod structure has been comprehensively discussed in our previous work [34]. Briefly, the nanorod structure of FHA was formed due to the capping effect of ATG surfactant when exposed to calcium atoms in a suitable pH environment and hydrothermal condition.…”

“…The nanorods of FHA were synthesised according to our previous work [34]. Shortly, 105 mg of HA powder with 8 mg of sodium fluoride was mixed in 100 ml of distillated water.…”

Evaluating hydrothermal synthesis of fluorapatite nanorods: pH and temperature

“…In our previous study, we reported on the hydrothermal synthesis of fluoridated HA nanorods using different surfactants such as ATG, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate (EDTA) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) [16]. The feasibility formation of FHA nanorods in different sizes, crystallinities and shapes at low temperature of hydrothermal conditions was investigated.…”
