Abstract [eng] |
In the present work, effect of processing conditions on the synthesis of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) polymorphs was investigated. Pure α- and β-TCP polymorphs were prepared by wet precipitation method at almost identical thermal conditions. It was shown that formation of the compound with desired crystalline structure can be achieved by applying a washing procedure with a certain solvent to as-prepared calcium phosphate precipitates. Effect of water, acetone, acetonitrile, ethanol and isopropanol on the crystallinity and crystal structure of the asprepared and annealed powders was studied. It was demonstrated that type of the washing liquid strongly affects crystalline or amorphous nature of the as-prepared precipitates and formation of different TCP polymorphs after thermal treatment. Washing of the as-prepared precipitates with water and acetone leads to the formation of β- TCP, while washing with acetonitrile and alcohols leads to the crystallization of α-TCP. The thermal behavior of dried precipitates was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The crystallinity, crystal structure and structural changes were evaluated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for the characterization of morphological features of the synthesized products. |
