The arginine-modified and europium-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles（HAP-Eu） were synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis.The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,X-ray diffractometry（XRD）,Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） and zeta potential analyzer.The cell viability of HAP-Eu was tested by image flow cytometry.The results indicated that HAP-Eu is short column shapes and its size is approximately 100 nm,its zeta potential is about 30.10 mV at pH of 7.5,and shows no cytotoxicity in human epithelial cells and endothelial cells.
