Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has garnered considerable interest in biomedical engineering for its diverse applications. Yet, the synthesis of HAP integrated with functional natural organic components remains an area ripe for exploration. This study innovatively utilizes the versatile properties of tea polyphenol (TP) to synthesize HAP nanomaterials with superior crystallinity and distinct morphologies, notably rod-like structures, via a chemical deposition process in a nitrogen atmosphere. This method ensures an enhanced integration of TP, as confirmed by thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis and a variety of microscopy techniques, which also reveal the dependence of TP content and crystallinity on the synthesis method employed. The research significantly impacts the field by demonstrating how synthesis conditions can alter material properties. It leads the way in employing TP-modified nano-HAP particles for biomedical applications. The findings of this study are crucial as they open avenues for the future development of tailored HAP nanomaterials, aiming at specific medical applications and advancements in nanotechnology.
