| Abstract | The wet mechanochemical process (MC) and chemical precipitation (CP) used to prepare hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) nanoparticles proved to be successful. In mechanochemical treatment, water and ethanol were used as a solvent but the last one improved particles agglomeration and decreased HA formation. This effect was also observed when aging temperature was decreased in wet chemical precipitation. |
