Synthesis and Characterization of Pure and Zn-doped Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles by Microwave Irradiation Method
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 9, No 2 (2020) pp. 36-41
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a nano-biomaterial incorporated as bone and teeth implants in the human body. The present work was aimed at the synthesis and characterization of pure and zinc-doped HAp nanoparticles prepared using chemical co-precipitation method associated with the microwave irradiation process. The HAp was prepared using calcium hydroxide as a calcium source and orthophosphoric acid as the phosphorous source. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX and UV analysis techniques. The X-ray Diffraction pattern revealed the crystalline size of the nanoparticles; size and morphology of samples were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersion X-ray Diffraction analysis was used to investigate the purity and elemental composition of the sample. Then the optical properties and bandgap energy were determined using Ultraviolet spectroscopy and Photoluminescence analysis.
