The objective of this study was to develop a novel silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers with improved properties for use in bone repair applications. Large-sized whiskers with a mean length of 250μm were obtained by a hydrothermal co-precipitation method at 150°C, 7.5Mpa in high-pressure reactor. Silica modified hydroxyapatite whiskers were prepared by dissolving TEOS in ethanol solution, then sintering with hydroxyapatite. The compositional and morphological properties of prepared whiskers were studied by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fouier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the evidence of nanosilicon dioxide particles on the surface of HAP whiskers. The size of nanosilicon dioxide particles depends on dropping and stirring rate. Hence, this new type of silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers is a valuable candidate for biomedical applications.Key words: hydroxyapatite, hydrothermal co-precipitation, surface modified, whiskers

The water-soluble ZnSe:Ag quantum dots were synthesized in aqueous medium by chemical co-precipitation method with L-cysteine as surface modifier. The crystal structure and optical properties of the obtained ZnSe:Ag quantum dots have been characterized by X-ray power diffraction, infrared spectrum, UV-Vis absorption spectrum and photoluminescence spectrum. Results indicate that ZnSe:Ag quantum dots belong to the cubic blende structure and have good fluorescent characteristics. The L-cysteine modified on the surface of ZnSe:Ag quantum dots renders the quantum dots water-soluble, biocompatible.
