Preparation and characterization of calcium phosphate nanorods using reverse microemulsion and hydrothermal processing routes

Brushite (BR) and hydroxyapatite(HA) nanoparticles were fabricated through reverse microemulsion and hydrothermal processing route, respectively. The processing routes influenced nucleation and crystal growth although both methods resulted in nanorods formation. The calcium-to-phosphate ratio was 1....
