Abstract

An important inorganic phase for synthetic bone applications, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), was prepared as a nano-sized (approximately 50 nm), homogeneous and high-purity ceramic powder from calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate salts dissolved in modified synthetic body fluid (SBF) solutions at 37 degrees C and pH of 7.4 using a novel chemical precipitation technique. The synthesized precursors were found to easily reach a phase purity >99% after 6 h of calcination in air atmosphere at 90 degrees C, following oven drying at 80 degrees C. There was observed, surprisingly, no decomposition of HA into the undesired beta-TCP phase even after heating at 1,600 degrees C in air for 6 h. This observation showed the superior high-temperature stability of such 'biomimetic' HA powders as compared to those reported in previous studies. The former powders were also found to contain trace amounts of Na and Mg ions, originating from the use of SBF solutions instead of pure water during their synthesis. Characterization and chemical analysis of the synthesized powders were performed by X-ray powder diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
