Abstract
Vacancy ordered maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles functionalized with nanohydroxyapatite (HAp – Ca10(PO4) 6(OH)2) have been successfully synthesized using an inexpensive co-precipitation chemical route. Evidence for the presence of vacancy order in maghemite was shown by the superstructure lines observed in X-ray diffraction. The adsorption of carboxyl groups of citric acid (C6H8O7) onto γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles was investigated by FTIR, XPS and Mössbauer spectroscopy.
