Abstract
Mesoporous hydroxyapatite (MHA) with a rod-shaped morphology has been successfully synthesized for the first time employing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a template and CaCl 2 and K 2HPO 4 as the precursors for hydroxyapatite under alkaline medium at the reaction temperature of 120°C via microwave method. The obtained material exhibits a disordered mesoporous structure with a high crystallinity and highly uniform rod-like morphology with an average size of ca. 25 nm in width and 100 nm in length.
