Effect of Plant Leaf Mediated Natural Extracts as Natural Stabilizers on Synthesis and Characterization of Nano-Hydroxyapatite Powders

Main initiative of this study is to report the changes occurred in the particle size and distribution of nano-hydroxyapatite powders due to the novel effect of Plant Leaf Mediated Natural Extracts (PLMNEs). Wet-Chemical precipitation method is used to obtain homogeneous nano-hydroxyapatite powders. These nano-hydroxyapatite powders have been synthesized by using different precursors and relative concentrations. The natural extracts used as Natural Stabilizers (NSs) are derived from Soya Leaves (SL) and Spinach Leaves (SpL) for the preparation of nano-hydroxyapatite. Present study reports the morphological changes in nano-hydroxyapatite and has been characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS). Till now no studies have been reported on synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite using Plant Leaf Mediated Natural Extracts as precursors. The Natural Stabilizers used have been found to show evidence of several medicinal effects.
