In the present work, the eggshell-derived hydroxyapatite (HA) powder was successfully synthesized by a simple wet chemical method assisted by microwave irradiation. Different pH values (8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) has been investigated in order to determine their effect on the HA properties. The derived po...
