Inductive Behavior

The main objective of this study is to characterize the in vitro osteo inductive behavior of pearl nano crystallites. The results obtained from X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and inductively coupled plasma mass (ICP-MS) analysis demonstrate that the pearls can induce the formation of a hydroxyl apatite (HA) layer on their surface in simulated body fluid (SBF), even after only short soaking periods. Further, MC3T3-E1 cells can easily attach and spread on the pearl powders after 1 h of cultivation.

Ancient ceramics recovered after a long burial period have probably undergone several alterations and contaminations, introducing a chemical variability, affecting the ceramic’s natural variability. That is, the chemical and the mineralogical compositions of the ceramic pastes after their deposition will not be the same as they originally were. Therefore, it is known that the alteration and contamination processes, and the discrimination of some elements, should be considered when studying the ceramics to avoid incorrect interpretations about their provenance, technology and the use of the artefact, as well as its proper preservation. In the present work, the authors performed an experimental approach in order to study the alterations and contaminations that occurred in 60 ceramic cylinders buried in two different underwater environments. Once the pieces were taken out from the water environments, they were characterized by a multi-analytical approach. For this purpose, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS) and Raman spectroscopy were used. Newly formed minerals of different forms have been identified, with different crystallization grades. Some examples are the needles, flakes, sponges and long and short prisms composed of several elements such as Ca, F, S and O.

Barium–lanthanum britholite solid solutions, Ba10-xLax(PO4)6-x(SiO4)xF2, with 0 ≤ x ≤ 6 were prepared by solid state reaction in the temperature range of 1200–1400 °C. The powders were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), F-selective electrode, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). In addition, the present study used thermal analysis to follow the apatite formation reaction during the heat treatment. For x ≤ 3, there is formation of a single apatite phase, whereas above this value, the La2SiO5, La2Si2O7, BaSi2O5, and Ba2La2O5 secondary phases were observed. The variation of the lattice parameters of the apatite phase as a function of x confirmed that the solid solution is discontinuous to either side of x = 3.

The 19Th Century

Slags from the historic metallurgy of Zn-Pb ores are known for unique chemical and phase compositions. The oxides, silicates, aluminosilicates, and amorphous phases present therein often contain in the structure elements that are rare in natural conditions, such as Zn, Pb, As. The study focuses on processes occurring on the contact of the melted batch and the refractory materials that build the furnace, which lead to the formation of these phases. To describe them, chemical (X-ray fluorescence (XRF), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)) and petrological ((X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe micro-analyses (EPMA), Raman spectroscopy) analyses were performed on refractory material, slag, and contact of both. Two main types of reactions have been distinguished: gas/fluid- refractories and liquid- refractories. The first of them enrich the refractories with elements that migrate with the gas (Pb, K, Na, As, Zn) and transport the components building it (Fe, Mg, Ca) inward. Reactions between melted batch and refractory materials through gravitational differentiation and the melting of refractories lead to the formation of an aluminosilicate liquid with a high content of heavy elements. Cooling of this melt causes crystallization of minerals characteristic for slag, but with a modified composition, such as Fe-rich pyroxenes, Pb-rich K-feldspar, or PbO-As2O3-SiO2 glass.

Superparamagnetic State

A novel biocompatible Fe2+-chitosan (CTS)/citric acid modified carbon nanotube (CA-CNTs) composite (Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs) has been successfully synthesized by covalent bonding and crosslinking chemistry, followed by the reduction. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The results show that the CTS has been successfully grafted to the CA-CNTs carrier and Fe2+ ions are absorbed on the CTS by coordination bond mode. It was found that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite shows good magnetic properties with a low ratio of remanence to saturation magnetization and is in a superparamagnetic state at room temperature. It is believed that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite will be potential for application in MRI.

The europium(III)-benzoic acid(HL)-1,10-phenanthroline(phen) complex was synthesized in the ethanol-H2O system by a precipitation method. The morphology of the minicrystal complex with diameters of ca. 1.0 µm is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Elemental analysis and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) are used to determine the chemical composition of the complex. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) are used to examine the structure of the complex. The results show that the complex is a new kind of crystalline complex and the composition of the complex is speculated to be EuL3(phen). The thermogravimetric curve (TGA) analysis indicates that the complex is stable below 232 °C in air. The photoluminescence analyses (PLA) exhibit that the complex emits the characteristic red fluorescence of Eu (III) ions at 613nm under ultraviolet light excitation.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we studied the dissolution of three different refractory compositions belonging to the ternary system SiO2-CaO-MgO into two Simulated Lung Fluids (SLF). The initial powder mixtures were uniaxially pressed and then sintered at 1300-1400 °C. The sintered samples were immersed for times from 1 to 21 days into a given SLF at 37 °C. The samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The dissolution of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Si4+ into the SLF was quantified by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The in vitro studies suggested that all the considered materials had a potential to show a diminished biopersistence in vivo, due to reasons that depended on their chemical and phase composition.

In this study, CaSiO3 (CS)/Ca3(PO4)2 (TCP) composites with 50% CS and 50% TCP sintered at different temperatures (1100oC, 1200oC and 1300oC) were prepared. The formation of bone-like apatite on CS-TCP composites was investigated by soaking the ceramics in simulated body fluid (SBF), and the presence of bone-like apatite layer on the composite surface after soaking in SBF was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results showed that the bone-like apatite was formed on all the CS-TCP composites sintered at different temperatures after 7 days of immersion. In addition, the degradation of CS-TCP composites prepared at different temperatures was evaluated by measurement of weight loss of the ceramics in Tris-HCl buffer solution at 37oC, and the results showed that there was no difference in degradation rate between the samples. In vitro cell experiments indicated that the osteoblasts proliferated faster on the CS-TCP ceramics sintered at higher temperature, and cells on the CS-TCP ceramics sintered at 1300oC showed highest proliferation rate. These results provide valuable information for designing CS-TCP composite bioceramics for bone regeneration applications.

Solid acid-catalyzed dehydration of fructose to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) has been a hotspot in biomass conversion research in recent years. In this study, a novel SAPO‑34‑based catalyst was prepared by consecutive steps of titanium doping, sulfuric acid impregnation, and sulfonic acid functionalization. Characterization of the catalyst with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), and acid-base titration revealed different pore structures and more acid content compared to SAPO‑34. The catalyst was applied to the preparation of 5-HMF by dehydration of fructose, and the maximum yield (74.0%) of 5-HMF was obtained by reacting in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 170 °C for 50 min. In addition, the applicability of the catalytic system to other substrates and the stability of the catalyst after five cycles were investigated, which are valuable for further probing on the concerned aspects.
