Investigation on Pure and Aluminium-doped Hydroxyapatite for Orthopedic Applications
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 10, No 1 (2021) pp. 30-36
Abstract
In the present work, synthesis and characterization of pure and Aluminium-doped Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were performed. Biomaterials were selected owing to their bone replacement applications. The main proposition of this work is to synthesize the Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles by microwave-assisted co-precipitation method at room temperature. The prepared samples were characterized by using various techniques such as Powder XRD, SEM, EDAX, UV-Visible, Photoluminescence (PL) and FT-IR methods. The antimicrobial analysis was performed to study the crystalline size, micro-strain and dislocation density of the samples. SEM revealed the morphology of the samples. The composition of the samples was revealed by EDAX, whereas UV and PL have thrown light upon the optical property of the samples. Functional groups were determined by FTIR. Zone of inhibition for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria was shown by antimicrobial analysis.
