I am currently trying to dissolve Hydroxyapatite pellets in Acetone to create a solution for nanofibers created in an electrospinning system. Other dissolving agents are available (such as isopropyl alcohol) though I am hoping to find advice specifically for acetone. I am mainly having trouble finding the volume percentages, how much of each must be used to obtain roughly 67 ml of solution and still create nanofibers. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Hydroyaptitte is an insoluble material, I don't think you can prepare a solution of it
Good luck
I agree with Mohammad kooti, hydroxyapatite is insoluble
I made some pieces with the help of 3d printed templates with abs
to remove it from the mold, I used acetone, and I didn't notice any difference between these parts with the others where it was not necessary to use the solvent. however my studies were more focused on mechanical properties , I did not do contamination tests etc.
Hi dear Matthew Lawson.
You don't need to solve hydroxyapatite and also it never solve 😃 you just need to disperse HA.
Iso propyle acohol (IPA), acetone and ethanol are popular solvent to disperse the HA and need sonnication and after this procedure, you can electrospin 👌
