Natural biological hard tissues are biocomposites of proteins and hydroxyapatite (HA) with superior strength. Nanometer scale HAp is the key material to manufacture bone substitute. In this work, nano-sized HA particles were synthesized by a wet method using orthophosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide as raw materials. The prepared nanocrystalline HAp was characterized for its phase purity and nano-scale morphological structure by XRD, TEM, and FTIR. The influences of heat treatment temperature and dispersant on the properties of HAp were also investigated. The results indicated that nano-particles were pure single-phase HAp with a diameter of 25-70 nm and length of 50-180 nm depending on heat treatment temperature. The morphology and crystallite size of HAp change with heat treatment temperature. After heat treating, the crystallinity of these nano-particles increased and its morphology transformed from needle-like to sphere-like structure. The dispersant is beneficial to prevent the growth of HA particles and provide a uniform particle size distribution. Moreover, the HAp tends to form small agglomerates in the absence of dispersant.
