Cements were prepared by mixing the calcium phosphate (β-TCP) with phosphoric acid solution (2.6M) and chitosan solution (2.5% in acetic acid solution) that was added in different proportions, ranging from 1 to 50% of total acid solution amount. Observations using SEM showed that the used of chitosan increased the interconnectivity of grains in the final cement, although the mechanical resistance to compression decreased from approximately 3 to 1 MPa. Probably the chitosan macromolecule is able to form a more interconnected net.

Recently nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) has been used as a new biomaterial in medical and dental fields. There are many methods to synthesize the nano-HA. In the present study, the nano-HA was synthesized under various reaction conditions by a wet method using neutralization reaction of calcium hydroxide suspension and phosphoric acid solution. The physicochemical properties of the nano-HA were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TG and TEM. The XRD, FTIR and TEM results indicated that the nano-HA samples were pure and the sizes were less than 50 nm. However, all samples contained carbonate and the contents were determined to be 2-4% by TG. The crystallinity of the nano-HA increased higher at body temperature of 37°C than at lower temperature of 7-10°C.

ABSTRACTOpuntia ficus-indica (Ofi) cactus non-gelling (NE) mucilage nanofibers were electrospun with acetic acid solution and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a polymer. The best fiber coverage was achieved with an aqueous 50% acetic acid solution and 9% low molecular weight PVA at a 70:30 PVA:Mucilage volume ratio. Other volume ratios (30:70 and 50:50) produced beads and other deformities. Fibers were formed with an average diameter of 180nm as measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Favorable electrospinning conditions were used to fabricate a 1 cm x 1 cm Ofi nanofiber biomembrane. Heat flow (W/g) versus temperature peaks ranged from 214 – 222°C, which is comparable to endothermic peak ranges observed for crystalline PVA. This could possibly further indicate some form of crystallinity within the Ofi nanofiber membrane. The electrospun process used precursors that were biodegradable, non-toxic, and sustainable to optimize the mucilage nanofiber formation, which will help enhance the potential performance of the Ofi nanofiber biomembrane in filtration and sensory systems.

A porous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) films were successfully fabricated on aluminium templates by using anodizing technique. The anodizing process was done in the mixed acid solution of phosphoric acid and acetic acid. The growth, morphology and chemical composition of AAO film were investigated. During the anodizing process, the growth of the oxide pores was strictly influenced by the anodizing parameters. The anodizing was done by varying the voltage at 70 V to 130 V and temperature from 5 °C to 25 °C. The electrolyte concentration was remaining constant. In this study, all the samples were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. From this study, the optimum parameters to obtain porous AAO film with the mixture of phosphoric acid and acetic acid solution can be known.

Some ways of estimating the values of the intrinsic viscosity of chitosan were analyzed. It was shown that the method of Irzhak and Baranov for estimating the current value of the intrinsic viscosity allows to adequately estimates the conformational state of the macromolecular coil and its degree of swelling.
