The effect of Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ·4H 2 O and (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 primary solutions as the starting materials in the synthesis of a calcium phosphate phase was examined. Therefore, wet chemical reactions were investigated in solution at different temperatures by hydrothermal conditions aimed at hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 , HAp) synthesis. The powders were investigated by XRD, SEM, FE‐TEM, HRTEM, EDAX, SAED, and FTIR. It is found that the HAp have diameters of 25–50 nm and lengths of 12030 nm with different morphologies. As a matter of fact, the hydrothermal method guarantees the production of HAp for different applications.
