Efecto del pH en la síntesis de hidroxiapatita en presencia de microondas

Synthetic hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, is a biomaterial used to reconstruct damaged bone tissue or to recover protheses. Indeed, the chemical composition and structure is similar to the mineral phase contained in the scheleton. This similarity favors the formation of bonds with the bone, it becomes then a biocompatible material. Hydroxyapatite may be obtained from bones, but, nowadays, it is synthesized through various chemical procedures such as: solid state, sol-gel, double decomposition, neutralization and hydrothermal reactions. The hydrothermal method is the most employed due to its s...
