Multi-dimensional hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocluster architectures fabricated via Nafion-assisted biomineralization

Abstract

Multi-dimensional hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoclusters are fabricated for the first time via a membrane assisted fabrication utilising a Nafion N-117 membrane. The effect of biomineralization time upon the resulting morphology is investigated in detail with the likely crystal growth mechanism proposed. This work opens up the new possibility for preparing HAp with other specific morphological alternatives and is of great value for applications in a plethora of fields.
