Bioactive hydroxyapatite (HA) with nanosized spherical shape has been synthesized through mechanochemical synthesis of calcium hydroxide and diammonium hydrogen phosphate. Sodium ion has been doped into HA by using sodium hydroxide precursor in a dry mixture of Ca(OH)2 and (NH3)2HPO4. Both Na-free H...
