Materials for bone repair and replacement can be prepared from nanometer-size hydroxyapatite (HA). A method of precipitating nanosize HA at atmospheric pressure, rapidly, using microwave heating is presented, and particles obtained by this and a conventional heating method are compared. The transmission electron micrograph shows particles obtained after microwave heating for 60 min.
