ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0jm04161k | Abstract: | A series of porous CaCO3/HA composites have been produced with an increased molar percentage of HA from 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 to 100%. The compression strength of the CaCO3/HA composites increases proportionally before reaching 50% and gradually levels off with a further increase up to 100%. The 50% CaCO3/HA composite, with a similar compression strength to natural bone, has been evaluated in vitro and in vivo, showing great potential for osteoregenerative applications. A three-step chemical process for preparing the CaCO3/HA composites has been revealed by time-dependent XRD analysis: (i) CaCO3 → CaO + CO2↑, (ii) 10CaO + 6(NH4)2HPO4 → Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 + 12NH 3↑ + 8H2O↑, and (iii) CaO + CO2 → CaCO3/Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO 3 + H2O. The initial formation of porous CaO by a fast release of CO2 at high temperature leads to the production of the porous CaCO3/HA composites. Such understanding may allow us to extend this solid-phase fabrication approach to various other porous composites with controlled compositions for promising applications. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry. | Source Title: | Journal of Materials Chemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/85190 | ISSN: | 09599428 | DOI: | 10.1039/c0jm04161k |
