Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is effectively used as a bio-implant material because it closely resembles bone apatite and exhibits good biocompatibility. HAP powder has been prepared via sol-gel procedure using calcium nitrate tetra hydrate and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate as the precursors for calcium and phosphorus, respectively. Double distilled water was used as a diluting media for HA sol preparation and ammonia was used to adjust the pH. Synthesised HAP was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to reveals that phase content, morphology and types of bond present within it (Ca/P=1.67).
