Abstract. In this paper we present a synthesis method of calcium phosphate bioceramics such as hydroxiapatite, the
mineral component of bones and hard tissue in mammals. Investigations carried out have confirmed obtaining of
hydroxyapatite characterized by a high degree of crystallinity, purity, and a good stoichiometry.

This shape is attributed to increased size of As shown in table 3, based on Debye-Scherrer
hydroxyapatite crystallites. To estimate the size of relationship is in the range 10-58 nm. These data are
crystallites is using Debye-Scherrer relationship: consistent with those presented for the standard sample
K analysis and the literature. The estimated crystallites size
of hydroxyapatie are in according with data obtained
w cos( )
regarding the crystallinity degree. In terms of x-ray
where: w is defined as the a full width of the intensity diffraction, the crystallinity parts give sharp narrow
distribution at half of the maximum intensity (FWHM – diffraction peaks and the amorphous component gives a
full width at half maximum) and give the difference very broad peak (halo). The ratio between these
between the two 2 theta values, in radians; FWHM = w = intensities can be used to calculate the amount of
2 max – 2 min [2]. crystallinity in the material.
An estimation regarding crystallinity degree and relative
crystallinity, in case of hydroxyapatie samples, are
presented in table 4. The relative crystallinity was
calculated as a ratio between both crystallinity degrees of
hydroxyapatite samples obtained in laboratory and
standard sample.
