Wollastonite/tricalcium phosphate composites were prepared and immersed in SBF for various periods to investigate the apatite-formation mechanism on their surfaces. Surface morphologies and composition before and after immersion were analyzed by SEM and EDS technologies. The concentration changes of calcium, silicon, and phosphorus in SBF due to the immersion of the samples were measured with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and the corresponding pH values in SBF were recorded. XRD and IR were used to examine the changes in crystalline phases and functional groups. It was found that, after immersion for 1 day, the samples were covered by pom-pom-like apatite granules, resulting from the dissolution of wollastonite and the simultaneous transformation of TCP. This quickly led to the subsequent precipitation of another apatite layer, which covered the earlier-formed surface completely. These results indicate that the wollastonite/tricalcium phosphate composite is a potential biomaterial candidate because of its high bioactivity and in situ porous structure.
制备了硅灰石/磷酸三钙复合材料,并将其在模拟体液(SBF)中浸泡不同时间,以研究其表面磷灰石的形成机制。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能谱仪(EDS)技术分析了浸泡前后的表面形貌和成分。利用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法测量了由于样品浸泡导致的SBF中钙、硅和磷的浓度变化,并记录了SBF中相应的pH值。采用X射线衍射(XRD)和红外光谱(IR)检测晶相和官能团的变化。结果发现,浸泡1天后,样品表面覆盖有绒球状的磷灰石颗粒,这是由硅灰石的溶解和磷酸三钙的同时转变所致。这迅速导致另一层磷灰石的沉淀,完全覆盖了早期形成的表面。这些结果表明,硅灰石/磷酸三钙复合材料因其高生物活性和原位多孔结构而成为一种潜在的生物材料候选物。
