Synthesis of calcium phosphate: influence of sintering temperature on the formation of fluorhydroxyapatite
Zudah Sima’atul Kubro1, Setyanto Tri Wahyudi2, Kiagus Dahlan3.
Calcium phosphate biomaterials can be classified as polycrystalline ceramics.
Hydroxyapatite is one kind of calcium phosphate biomaterials which is also a mineral
component in hard tissue, especially dental and bones. Hydroxyapatite has low chemical
stability at high temperatures and low durability in an acidic environment. On the other
hand, fluorhydroxyapatite has good chemical stability at high temperatures as well as the
nature of its bioactivity. Fluorhydroxyapatite is made by adding F to replace some OH
functional groups in hydroxyapatite. In this research, fluorhydroxyapatite was synthesized
through precipitation method and microwave assistant with sintering temperatures of
600°C, 800°C, and 1000°C. Based on the characterization using an x-ray diffractometer, the
results showed that at 1000°C sintering temperature, the samples have a higher intensity of
fluorapatite and fewer impurities than other samples sintered at 800°C and 600°C. Fourier
Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis shows that similar functional groups appeared in the
samples with all sintering temperatures. Conductivity evaluation shows that the
conductivity values of the samples were inversely proportional to the sintering
temperatures. The morphology of the samples not so clearly seen due to agglomeration, but
it can be observed that fluorhydroxyapatite is flat-shaped needle-like or rod-shaped
