Synthesis of Silicon- and Carbonate-doped Biomimetic Hydroxyapatite in the Presence of Citrate Ions and its Physicochemical, Bioactivity Properties

The present study investigated the phase composition, the structural, morphological, and bioactivity properties of silicon- and carbonate-doped biomimetic hydroxyapatite synthesized by precipitation from aqueous solutions in the presence of different amounts of citrate ions. The X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed that all the samples exhibited single-phase. Base on the results of the morphological...
