Abstract: | Calcium phosphate based bioceramics have been synthesized by a modified combustion synthetic route using both citric acid and succinic acid separately and in mixture as fuels and nitrate and nitric acid as oxidants. Calcium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate were used as calcium and phosphate sources. The effects of citric acid to succinic acid ratio on the phase formation have been investigated. The precursors and the calcined products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Succinic acid has been used as a fuel for the first time to synthesize hydroxyapatite. |
