Abstract:
Oriented hydroxyapatite nanoclusters were achieved by reflux method in the presence of non-poisonous and well dissolved surfactant (potassium polyoxyethylene laurylether phosphate, MAEPK). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated uniform sizes of nanorods arranged in parallel to each other along the c-axis and formed partially oriented nanoclusters in the presence of MAEPK. The sizes of each nanoparticle were about 60-80 nm in length and 20 nm in width. MAEPK had an important impact on the morphology of product due to the structure of surfactant and a strong electrostatic interaction between ionized MAEPK and Ca2+ ions. The regulating formation mechanism of hydroxyapatite nanoclusters by MAEPK may extend the understanding of biomineralization process for the preparation of biomimetic materials. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
