ABSTRACT
Hydroxyapatite crystals were grown by hydrothermal method using dicalcium phosphate dihydrate crystals as a starting material. The grown crystals were found to be free from carbonate inclusion. Two distinct morphologies were obtained by following two different growth methods. Controlled slow growth process and rapid growth process results in hexagonal and whisker like morphologies.
