An Hap/Nanosilver Coating Prepared By Electrochemical Deposition And Its Antibacterial Characterization, Zhi-Wang Geng, Hui Wang, Chang-Jian Lin
Journal of Electrochemistry
The silver nanoparticles were prepared by sodium citrate reduction of AgNO3.The nanoparticles were electrophoretic deposited on titanium,followed by the electrolytic deposition of hydroxyapatite(HAp).It is revealed,by the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),that the diameters of nanosilver particles ranged from 5nm to 20nm.The XPS and XRD indicated the coating consisting of silver and HAp.According to the SEM images and antibacterial test,it is demonstrated that when the concentrations of the electrophoretic solution became higher more silver particles were depostited,and the antibacterial property improved.However,the particles aggregated on titanium greatly when the concentration exceeded a point,and the antibacterial activity declined.The optimum concentration for the antibacterial property …

Nano-Size Hydroxyapatite Powders Preparation By Wet-Chemical Precipitation Route, N Monmaturapoj
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
In this study, wet-chemical process was performed to prepare nano-size hydroxyapatite (HA) powders (≈10 nm) by varying concentration (low, medium and high) of the starting solutions in order to increase the amount of as-dried HA powders with different process conditions. Particle sizes and density were analyzed and differential thermal analysis was used to determine the glass transition (Tg) and the onset crystallization (Tc) temperatures. XRD and SEM were performed to identify phases and microstructure. The wet-chemical precipitation using low concentration of starting solution under reflux environment could be the optimize process to induce the formation of hydroxyapatite rather than tricalcium …

Morphology Controlled Calcium Ortho Phosphates Induced By Chemical Additions Under Hydrothermal Reaction, D P. Kashima, E Kongkul, T Daopradubwon
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Morphology controlled calcium orthophosphates under hydrothermal reaction was achieved using saturated solution of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) as a starting material. MCPM saturated solution was hydrothermally treated at 180°C for 4 and 12 hrs. Citric acid as a chelating agent and a mixed solution of NaNO3 and NaF were individually added into the reactor. The morphologies, phases and microstructures of the obtained products were characterized by optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. Irregular shape crystals were obtained when a saturated solution of MCPM was autoclaved at 180°C for 4 hrs. Though citric acid was …
