Abstract
By hydrothermal reaction method with the control of anionic amino acid surfactant N-lauroylsarcosine sodium(Sar-Na),single crystal hydroxyapatite(HAP) nanoplates were synthesized and different synthetic conditions were carefully studied.The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy.Results showed that hydroxyapatite nanocrystals with lengths of 0.5-1.0 μm,a width of 30 nm,and a high aspect ratio(20:1) were obtained.By increasing the concentration of N-lauroylsarcosine sodium,the morphology of the hydroxyapatite varied from oval to plate-like.These results show that N-lauroylsarcosine sodium can induce the formation of hydroxyapatite with different morphologies.The current work provides a new approach to tune the aspect ratio of hydroxyapatite nanoplates.
