Hollow porous hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using calcium carbonate as sacrificial template. Calcium carbonate template was prepared by reacting Ca(NO3)2.4H2O and Na2CO3 solution with the addition of Poly sodium4-styrene-sulfonate (PSS) as surface modifier at room...
