Physical and Chemical Characterization of Pure and Silver Doped Hydroxyapatite

In this study, nano-sized pure HAp and 0.05%, 0.20%, 0.40% (w / v) Ag (I) ion-doped HAp samples were produced by precipitation method also physical and chemical characterization of these samples were made. According to the XRD results, 2θ= 31.77° for pure HAp. No significant changes were observed in the 2θ values according to the silver dopping rate. From the SEM images, it was observed that the change in the dopping rates did not have a clear effect on the surface morphology. The Ca / P ratio with the SEM were 1.6685 for HAp. The Ca / P ratio for pure HAp in ICP-OES device was found to be 1.6630. Grain size mean values of samples were measured 100-400 nm. FTIR results were consistent with the literature. From the produced samples, the density value for pure HAp was found to be 3,051 gr / cm3. It was observed that the densities of Ag (I) -HAp powders increased as the contribution ratio increased. In the light of all these results, it is understood that the pure and silver doped samples are compatible with the literature and can be used in biological studies
