Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a biomaterial of ceramic origin, which is present in
human bones and tissues in a natural way which grants properties such as
biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and thermoluminescence. Such properties
are related to the shape and size of the material, which are directly related to
the method of synthesis employed. The most common method used in the
synthesis of Hap is the wet method that derives in different techniques such as
the hydrothermal method assisted by microwave in which the main morphology
obtained are needles that have a high crystallinity degree and sizes within the
nanoscale. This work focuses on the structural study of HAp synthesized by the
hydrothermal method assisted by microwaves, varying the reaction time 30 to
60 minutes with the main purpose of evaluating the change in morphology
regarding reaction time. The microstructural characterization of HAp was
carried out using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques showing the main
crystallographic planes (002) at 25.8 °, (211) at 32.1 ° and (300) 32.8 °, which are
characteristic of Hap. Scanning electron microscopy characterization (SEM)
showed nanorods morphologies with a size between 20 nm and 70 nm.
Therefore, it is concluded that the hydrothermal method assisted by microwave
is a viable method for the generation of nanostructures.
