Assimilation of Zinc Metal Ion With Hydroxyapatite for Impedance Studies
Abstract The aim of the present work is to examine the doping outcome of Zn metal ions on hydroxyapatite for different concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8). The samples for the pure and Zn doped HAp are synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method. The properties and the particle size are identified by using XRD. The functional bands of PO, CO and OH are analyzed through FTIR and the surface morphology and particle shapes are studied through SEM. The elemental analysis such as zinc, calcium and phosphates are analyzed by EDAX. All the designed elements are studied and confirm the (Ca+Zn)/PO ratio is nearly 1.67 and no other elements were identified in this study. The morphological particles of needle shape and the nanoscale particle size and shapes are studied by using TEM. The electrical conductivity of the synthesized ZnHAp ceramic is mainly related to width of the channel and the polarizability. The frequency dependence of the electric and dielectric properties was studied by using impedance spectroscopy.
