| Abstract |
Sodium salt carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was used to prepare HAp-CMC
composites through co-precipitation process. HAp nanorods with well controlled
particle size were welll aligned along the c axis in the final composites. TEM, XRD,
FTIR analysis were used to characterized the samples. It was found that the carboxyl
groups in cellulose might be the main guiding site for the precipitation and growth of
HAp and the formation of the resulting composites. |
