Mechanochemical synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanopowder: Effects of rotation speed and milling time on powder properties

Mechanochemical synthesis of two or more different precursors is a simple method to prepare metallic alloys, polymer and ceramic composite materials. This mechanical reaction based synthesis also has been employed to produce hydroxyapatite (HA) powder for bone implant application. In this present st...
