ABSTRACT
Hydroxyapatite was synthesized by precipitation method using an anionic surfactant (SDS) template, at ambient temperature and normal pressure. Phosphoric acid and disodium phosphate were used as a precursor of phosphorous, whereas calcium hydroxide and chloride were used as a precursor of calcium. The obtained hydroxyapatite was subjected to a wide range of physicochemical analysis using various measurement techniques. In order to get information about the properties of the obtained products, the following analysis of characteristics was performed: dispersion (NIBS), morphological (SEM), adsorptive (BET) and structural (XRD). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and elemental analysis were also applied.
