Hydroxyapatite Precursor Phases Identification by X-Ray Diffraction Using Synchrotron Radiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study presents the relevance of X-ray diffraction analysis using synchrotron light in the identification of phases with low intensity peaks. Niobium sheets were coated with monetite and then converted to hydroxyapatite in an alkali solution. Octacalcium phosphate was identified as an intermediate phase in the conversion monetite-hydroxyapatite.
