Continuous crystalline carbonate apatite thin films. A biomimetic approach.

چکیده
In contrast to extensive studies on hydroxyapatite thin films, very little has been reported on the thin films of carbonated apatite (dahllite). In this report, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a highly crystalline dahllite thin film assembled via a biomimetic pathway. A free-standing continuous precursor film of carbonated calcium phosphate in an amorphous phase was first prepared by a solution-inhibited templating method (template-inhibition) at an air-water interface. A stearic acid surface monolayer acted as the template, while a carbonate-phosphate solution composed a binary inhibition system. The precursor film formed at the air/water interface was heated at 900 degrees C and transformed into a dense crystalline film that retained the overall shape of the precursor. The crystalline phase was characterized by XRD and IR to be a single-phase carbonate apatite, with carbonate substitutions in both type A (OH-) and type B (PO4(3-)) lattice positions.

Biologically controlled mineralization features an orchestrated balance among various controlling factors such as spatial delineation, template promotion, crystal growth modification and cessation, and so on. Highly ordered calcium carbonate lamellae formed in the nacreous layers of mollusk (aragonite), the foliated calcitic layers of mollusk (calcite), or the semi-nacre of brachiopods (calcite...
متن کاملThe effect of pH on the structural evolution of accelerated biomimetic apatite.
The classic biomimetic apatite coating process can be accelerated by first immersing substrates into concentrated simulated body fluid, 5x SBF (SBF1), at 37 degrees C, to form an initial coating of precursor apatite spheres, and subsequently transferring to a second 5x SBF (SBF2) solution which is devoid of crystal growth inhibitors to promote phase transformation of SBF1-derived precursor apat...

Highly c-axis oriented apatite-type lanthanum silicate (LSO) thin films were fabricated by a simple solution coating method. In the solution coating method, LSO thin films are obtained by crystallization of initially deposited amorphous LSO precursor thin films. The degree of orientation was influenced by the precursor morphologies and a dense LSO precursor led to a high c-axis orientation perp...

The transition from invertebrate calcium carbonate-based calcite and aragonite exo- and endoskeletons to the calcium phosphate-based vertebrate backbones and jaws composed of microscopic hydroxyapatite crystals is one of the great revolutions in the evolution of terrestrial organisms. To identify potential factors that might have played a role in such a transition, three key domains of the vert...

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at the pressure of 10-6 mbar by thermal resistor evaporation technique. The effects of annealing on the structural, optical properties of ZnS films were studied. Crystalline ZnS films have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Only cubic phase with the preferred (111) plane was found in ZnS films. Optical characteristics were studie...
