Hello everybody :) I hope you can help me!
I'm doing a project on microwave synthesis of hydroxyapatite. If you have done something similar or you know where I can find some info or read any articles please write to me :)
Thank you

I use sciencedirect.com a lot. If its to do with science, someone's published a journal on it for science direct! :)

Google has a scientific research search engine: Google Scholar

It's very useful when searching for leads.

If the above resources fail you, go to your university library and ask for the reference dept to help you with chem abstracts searches.

If you are doing research or working on a project for an advanced lab class, often a search of the primary literature is a great idea. It can be hard to muddle through at first, but the more you read the primary lit, the better you'll be... not to mention it helps with testing skills for things like the subject GRE's, MCAT's, at least in my opinion... if you are going into science, it's a good thing to keep in mind. The downside is that the above searches are sometimes faster and more convenient than abstracts...

Also, there are restrictions on use of the abstracts sometimes. The univ where I taught had students talk to the reference librarian about what they wanted and then they arranged for a time to meet and do the search together, as it costs the univ $ for the time spent.

But if you ask for a search with keywords "hydroxyapatite synthesis preparation microwave" you'll probably get some hits. Then you go to the journal and copy the articles.

I know... a trip to a library with books... so last century. Sometimes it'll give you exactly what you want.
