Question 2

Hydroxyapatite is an essential ingredient of normal bone and teeth, which gives bones and teeth their

rigidity. You are a material scientist who is working on a project to develop a hydroxyapatite material

with high thermal stability, and the material needs to be stable up to 1300 degree C. You want to

figure out a methodology to develop such material, and books/book chapters could provide such

information. Which methodology will be your choice?
