Description
Summary:	Nano-bioapatite (BAP) powder was successfully prepared from chicken femur bones via chemical treatment followed by calcination. The isolation of nano-bioapatite powder from chicken bone has not been published so far. The bioapatite powder was chemically and structurally characterised by elemental analysis (AAS), XRD, TEM, and FTIR techniques. The nano BAP powder showed needle-shaped morphology. The crystallite size distribution and specific surface area proved the nanostructured character of the sample. Chemical analysis together with FTIR spectrometry showed that the BAP powder was Ca-deficient with Na, Mg and carbonate substitutions that make the BAP suitable for application as a filler in biocomposites.
