in the present work, the effect of ca(no3)2.4h2o and (nh4)2hpo4 primary solutions as the beginning materials in synthesis of a calcium phosphate phase, was examined. so, we investigated the wet chemical reactions in solution at different temperatures by a hydrothermal condition aimed at hydroxyapatite (ca10(po4)6(oh)2); (hap) synthesis. the powders were investigated by xrd,sem, fe-tem, hrtem, e...

Engineered nano particles may have a variety of effects on plant systems which is not well studied as yet. We have studied for the first time the beneficial effect of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanorod on seed germination and growth of chickpea plant.  HAP nanorods have been synthesized by sol gel technique and then characterized.  Chickpea plants have been allowed to germinate and grow in sterile sa...

BACKGROUND To mimic the muscle inspired cells adhesion through proteins secretion, the lamination of collagen-hydroxyapatite nanorod (nHA) composite nanofibers has been carried out successfully on polydopamine (PDA)-coated microfibrous polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) fabrics. The lamination of collagen-hydroxyapatite composite nanofibers on polydopamine-coated microfibrous PLGA fabrics was carr...

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorod embedded composite was prepared using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a matrix with different weight percentages (wt. %) The role of PVA composition on the crystallite size, degree of crystallinity, functional groups and morphology of nanocomposites were characterised by XRD, FTIR, and TEM analysis. The results indicated that the size and crystallinity of HAp nano par...

UNLABELLED Hierarchically nanosized hydroxyapatite (HA) with flower-like structure assembled from nanosheets consisting of nanorod building blocks was successfully synthesized by using CaCl(2), NaH(2)PO(4), and potassium sodium tartrate via a hydrothermal method at 200°C for 24 hours. The effects of heating time and heating temperature on the products were investigated. As a chelating ligand an...

Synthetic calcium phosphate (CaP)-based materials have attracted much attention in the biomedical field. In this study, we have investigated the effect of pH values on CaP nanostructures prepared using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The hierarchical nanosheet-assembled hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanostructure was prepared under weak acidic conditions (pH 5), while the HAP nanorod was prepa...
