Dissolution and re-crystallization processes in multiphase silicon stabilized tricalcium phosphate.

چکیده
Ultrasonically accelerated dissolution of multiphase silicon stabilized tricalcium phosphate powders in water or Earle's balanced salt solution transforms the powders into needle-like calcium deficient apatite crystals with the c-axis (001) oriented along the needle. Ion exchange with the solution occurs primarily in the first hours of immersion. The transformation is driven by an interaction between the crystal surface and adsorbed water leading to the growth of crystallites which have the most stable surface configuration. First principles calculations of the surface energies of various hydroxyapatite surfaces with and without adsorbed water shows that depending on the ion concentrations in the fluid that determine the chemical potential of tricalcium phosphate, either Ca-rich (010) or stoichiometric (001) layers are the dominant surfaces. The higher the chemical potential, the more elongated in the (001) direction the crystallites become to minimize the total surface energy. The loss of a calcium Ca(2+) compensated by the addition of two H(+) is strongly favoured energetically on the (001) and Ca-rich (010) surfaces. A high concentration of excess Si at grain boundaries may be partly responsible for the rapid transformation of multiphase Si-TCP.

Three types of ceramic scaffolds with different composition and structure [namely synthetic 100% hydroxyapatite (HA; Engipore), synthetic calcium phosphate multiphase biomaterial containing 67% silicon stabilized tricalcium phosphate (Si-TCP; Skelite) and natural bone mineral derived scaffolds (Bio-oss)] were seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and ectopically implanted for 8 and 16 weeks ...
متن کاملKinetics of dissolution of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) bioceramics
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) are widely used bioceramics for surgical or dental applications. This paper is dealing with dissolution kinetics of synthetically prepared β-TCP and four types of HAp granules. Two groups of HAp, treated at different temperatures, each of them with two different granule sizes, were tested. Three corrosive solutions with different pH and si...

The addition of ZrO2 particles to the HA coating has received considerable attention because ZrO2 particles increase the bonding strength between HA coating and substrate. In this study, nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HA)/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings were prepared by a sol–gel method. It was found that at 950ºC, the dominant phases were HA and tetragonal (t)-zirconia in 3YSZ, cubic...

In the past, the two major biomineralization motifs, biosilicification and biocalcification, were considered as two discrete processes. However, there is increasing evidence of the existence of an inextricable relationship between biosilica and calcium-based biominerals. The recent discovery of a unique silica–chitin–aragonite biocomposite in one genus of demosponges (Verongida) introduces a no...
