Reactivity of alpha-tricalcium phosphate

2002-03-01
The reactivity of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) in forming hydroxyapatite (HAp) at 37degreesC was investigated. The effects of synthesis route, HAp seeding and the presence of calcium salts on the mechanism and extent of HAp formation were examined by pH measurements and/or isothermal calorimetric analyses. A synthesis temperature at the lower end in the temperature range of 1100-1300degreesC and the reaction of alpha-TCP with a high specific surface area greatly improved rate and extent of HAp formation. The time for complete reaction decreased from 18 h to 14 h, when the reaction was carried out in the presence of 1 wt% of HAp seeds; the hydrolysis mechanism did not change. At HAp seeds proportion of 5 wt% and 10 wt%, transformation occurred without a nucleation period. The calcium salt additives studied were anhydrous and dihydrate form of dicalcium phosphate (CaHPO4 and CaHPO4 . 2H(2)O), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4 . 1/2H(2)O). All the additives delayed HAp formation as determined by the isothermal calorimetric analyses. Their retarding effects in decreasing order are CaCO3, CaSO4 . 1/2H(2)O, DCPD, DCP. CaCO3 almost completely retarded HAp formation. After 24 h, hydrolysis was complete only for pure alpha-TCP and for the alpha-TCP-DCP blend. Reaction was complete in other formulations before 48 h except for the CaCO3-Containing blend. In all mixtures conversion to HAp occurred without forming any intermediates. However gypsum formed in the mixture containing CaSO4 . 1/2H(2)O. All the alpha-TCP-additive mixtures, excluding alpha-TCP-CaCO3, reached nominally the same strength value after 24 h of reaction as governed by the transformation of alpha-TCP to HAp. For phase-pure alpha-TCP, the average tensile strength changed from 0.36 +/- 0.03 MPa to 7.26 +/- 0.6 MPa. Upon hydrolysis only the CaSO4 . 1/2H(2)O-containing mixture exhibited slightly higher strength averaging 8.36 +/- 0.9 MPa. (C) 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Electrochemical copolymerization of thiophene containing pseudo-polyether cages with pyrrole
Cihaner, Atilla; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2006-01-01)
Conducting copolymers were synthesized via the electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole (Py) in the presence of the monomer 1,12-bis(2-thienyl)-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane (1). The presence of monomer I in the electrolytic solution greatly changed the CV behavior of Py during its potensiodynamic polymerization. The electroactivity of poly(I-co-Py) increased with the increasing amount of I in the comonomer mixture. Copolymer films were prepared via constant potential electrolysis in an electrolytic solution contai...
alpha-Tricalcium phosphate hydrolysis to hydroxyapatite at and near physiological temperature
Durucan, Caner (2000-06-01)
The kinetics of hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation by direct hydrolysis of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) [alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2)] have been investigated. Transformation kinetics were examined for reactions at 37 degrees C, 45 degrees C and 56 degrees C by isothermal calorimetric analysis. Setting times and morphologies of the resultant HAp were found to be strongly dependent on reaction temperature. XRD analysis accompanied by FTIR confirmed that phase pure calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHAp) [Ca10-x(...
Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over a monolith coated by molybdenum-vanadium-niobium mixed-oxide catalyst
Karamullaoglu, G; Doğu, Timur (2003-10-01)
Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene was investigated using Mo0.71V0.21N0.08 mixed-oxide catalyst. in powder form and coated over a monolith. At 570degreesC and with a feed stream containing an O-2/C2H6 mole ratio of one. ethylene selectivity value reaching to 96% was obtained Lit a conversion level of about 5% with the monolith-supported catalyst. DRIFTS studies indicated the presence of adsorbed ethoxide species. The proposed reaction scheme for the production of ethylene includes the eliminati...

Direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas was investigated in the presence of a bifunctional catalyst pair containing silicotungstic acid (STA) incorporated SBA-15 (5, 10, 25% by wt. STA) for the in-situ dehydration of synthesized methanol. The methanol synthesis component of this catalyst mixture is a Cu/ZnO-based commercial (HF) catalytic material. The new STA@SBA-15 type solid acid catalysts synthesized in this study indicated ordered mesoporous structures with surface area values in the range...
Functionalization of oxabenzonorbornadiene: Manganese(III)-mediated oxidative addition of dimedone
ÇALIŞKAN, Raşit; Sari, Ozlem; Balcı, Metin (Wiley, 2017-09-01)
3-Chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcy-clohex- 2-en-1-one, synthesized by the reaction of oxabenzonorbornadiene with Mn(OAc)(3) and dimedone in the presence of HCl in acetic acid, was submitted to ring-opening reactions with BBr3 and H2SO4. Reaction with BBr3 yielded 2 products, a 5-membered ring and an 8-membered ring, with the former being the major product. However, the H2SO4-supported reaction exclusively formed an 8-membered ring. The mechanism of formation of th...
