Structural and morphological study of electrodeposited calcium phosphate materials submitted to thermal treatment

The morphology of the CaP materials is made of needles at room temperature that agglomerate to form rounded particles when the treatment temperature exceeds 800 °C. Simultaneously, the crystallinity increases with the treatment temperature until reaching a fully crystalline biphasic structure at 1000 °C. This biphasic structure consists in 80% Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and 20% β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP).
