Effect of Synthesis Temperature on the Crystallization and Growth of In Situ Prepared Nanohydroxyapatite in Chitosan Matrix
Figure 6
SEM micrographs of the as-prepared composite at (a) 60°C, (d) 37°C, and (g) −10°C. (b), (e), and (h) represent the CS/HA composites prepared at 60°C, 37°C, and −10°C, respectively, after soaking in SBF for 4 weeks at 37°C. EDX patterns can be seen from Figures (c), (f), and (i) for tCS/HA composites prepared at 60°C, 37°C, and −10°C, respectively.
