Preparation of hydroxyapatite in the presence of amino acids by hydrothermal method / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the preparation method of hydroxyapatite by amino acids induced hydrothermal technique.Methods The hydroxyapatite nanorods were obtained using alanine and glycine as templates by hydrothermal method.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Results The results showed that amino acids induced the formation of hydroxyapatite.Amino acids could affect crystallinity and dispersion of the formed hydroxyapatite.In addition,the substituent content of carbonate ions in hydroxyapatite was reduced by changing the ratio of amino acids.Conclusion Hydroxyapatite with high crystallinity and low carbonate ions can be prepared by hydrothermal method in the presence of amino acids.
