Description
Summary:Hydroxyapatite powder is produced using combustion synthesis method. The powder was produced using a low-temperature processing method involving time as short as 15 minutes. As silver is known to have anti-bacterial properties, silver-doped hydroxyapatite was also produced by the same method. Both the powders were fully crystalline. XRD indicated the presence of an additional phase of CaO in both the samples. FT-IR indicated the presence of hydroxide, phosphate and carbonate groups. Silver addition tends to control the reactions of powder with a test Tris buffer environment and maintain a stable pH for a longer period of 500-hour duration.
