Nano-bioapatite (BAP) powder was successfully acquired from chicken femur bones via chemical treatment followed by
calcination. The isolation of nano-bioapatite powder from chicken bone has not been published so far. The bioapatite powder
was chemically and structurally characterized by elemental analysis (AAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The nano BAP powder showed needleshaped
morphology. The crystallite size distribution and specific surface area proved the nanostructured character of the
sample. Chemical analysis together with FTIR spectrometry have demonstrated that the BAP powder was Ca-deficient with
Na, Mg and carbonate substitutions that make the BAP suitable for application as a filler in biocomposites. |
