However, the migration of the nano- hydroxyapatite
particles from the implanted site into the surrounding
tissues might cause damage to healthy tissue (Miyamato
et al., 1998). To find a solution, composites of nanohydroxyapatite and polymers were researched to find a
material that retained the good properties of nanohydroxyapatite and prevented the nano- hydroxyapatite
particles from migrating. In the present investigation, we
report the synthesis and characterization of nanohydroxyapatite by a wet chemical synthesis technique.
The as prepared hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are
characterized by X- ray diffraction, Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental dispersive X-ray
(EDX) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic
light scattering (DLS) analysis.
