Influence of Manganese on the Synthesis of Nano Hydroxyapatite by Wet Chemical Method for in vitro Applications

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is an prominent biomaterial with high compatibility, bioactivity and osteoconductivity extensively employed in orthopaedics and dentistry the world over. The advantages arising from the fusion and doping of biocompatible HAP with Manganese (Mn) having excellent mechanical properties expands the horizon of biomedical applications further. The aim of the present work is to investigate the doping effect of Mn metal ions on hydroxyapatite. Pure and Mn doped HAP with various four different concentrations were prepared by wet chemical method. The final samples were characterized for phase composition via XRD, functional analysis through FTIR, surface morphological analysis via SEM and elemental analysis by EDAX. The synthesis powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X - ray spectra (EDAX).
