The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of CPP method on the crystallinity of apatite powder and on the acid resistance of bovine enamel. Crystallinity degrees of apatite powder before and after CPP treatment were measured by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Polished bovine enamel specimens treated with CPP method or NaF were immersed in a lactic acid solution for up to five days....

Nano-bioapatite (BAP) powder was successfully acquired from chicken femur bones via chemical treatment followed by calcination. The isolation of nano-bioapatite powder from chicken bone has not been published so far. The bioapatite powder was chemically and structurally characterized by elemental analysis (AAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transf...

-X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns for many interstratified mica/glycolated smectites were calculated by changing combinations of probabilities and transition probabilities of two-component layers. Three basal XRD reflections, 5.1L7.6~ (P l), 8.9 ~ 0.2~ (P2), and 16.1~176 (P3) were selected for the quantification curves. A distinct relationship exists between a20~ (p2 Pl) and A202 (P3 -P2...

objective(s): cao–mgo–sio2 system bioceramics possess good characteristics for hard tissue engineering applications. the aim of the study was to synthesize the nano powder by using a sol-gel method and evaluate of bioactivity in the cells culture. methods: to characterize of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and to evaluate the bioactivity sample cell seedin...

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element, and its deficiency in the humans leads to increase the risk of various diseases, such as cancer and heart diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of biofield energy treatment on the physical and thermal properties of the selenium powder. The selenium powder was divided into two parts denoted as control and treated. The ...

The aim of the current work is the synthesis and characterization of metallic Zr nanoparticles. The preparation is carried out by using the RAPET method (Reaction under Autogenic Pressure at Elevated Temperatures) developed in our lab. The RAPET reaction of commercial ZrO(2) with Mg powder was carried out in a closed stainless steel cell, at 750 °C. On completion of the reaction, the additional...

A hydrothermal method of synthesizing hydroxyapatite by heating a precipitate, formed by mixing Ca(NO3)2⋅4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 with distilled water, in a hydrothermal reactor at 200 C for 24-72 hrs is described. A treatment time of 24 hrs produced single phase (as shown by XRD) hydroxyapatite powder, however for longer treatment times XRD patterns were indicative of the presence of a secondary ph...

Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) was prepared by a simple precipitation method using avian eggshell waste as a low-cost alternative calcium precursor source. The synthesized CPP powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results indicate that pure b-CPP nanocrys...

Aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) of Cd[(SePiPr2)2N]2 is shown to deposit cadmium selenide and/or cadmium phosphide on glass substrates, depending upon the growth conditions. The phase, structure, morphology and composition of the films were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray photoelectron s...
