Hydroxyapatite of high crystallinity powder including trace Ca 10 (PO 4) 6CO 3(OH) and Ca 9HPO 4(PO 4) 6OH can be synthesized by mechanical activation without further thermal treatment at a high temperature. The synthesis reaction during the grinding process was almost completed within 1h. The as-ground powder exhibits a particle distribution of 20-100nm in size with a spherical or rodlike morphology. The composition and degree of crystallinity of the mechanochemical synthesized hydroxyapatite powders were coincident with the cement-type hydroxyapatite.展开更多
