The calcium phosphate bioceramics are characterized by chemical and crystallographic similarity with the human skeleton. The wet synthesis method was used in the preparation of hydrated calcium phosphate nanostructured powders and biphasic compositions of calcium phosphate matrix. This study aimed the synthesis and characterization of a hydrated calcium phosphate matrix in the ratio Ca/P 1.67 molar and two biphasic compositions of hydrated calcium phosphate matrix, with 1% MgO and 5% α-Al2O3. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) helped with the powders morphological characterization, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) served for crystallographic characterization of powders and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) gave support to the identification of H2O, CO32- and PO43- grouping vibrational bands. The work showed that the presence of 1% MgO inside the hydrated calcium phosphate matrix provided brushite formation and the presence of 5% α-Al2O3 in the matrix provided the hydrated calcium phosphate powder.

Bone reconstruction biomaterials are topics of interest in dentistry, orthopedics, scientific, commercial. The most popular bone repairing and reconstruction biomaterials are calcium phosphates. The demand for biomaterials is associated with the chemical and crystallographic characteristics of the human bone apatite. The wet synthesis method is common in the production of nanostructured powders of hydrated calcium phosphates, providing nanoparticles with sizes less than 50nm. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize hydrated calcium phosphate powders in the molar ratio of Ca/P = 1.67. After calcination at temperature 900°C/2h, these powders provide nanostructured hydroxyapatite matrix. The characterization studies were performed with Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-rays diffraction and Infrared Spectroscopy by Fourier Transform. The results show that the synthesis method provides hydrated calcium phosphate powders formed by aggregated and agglomerated nanoparticles. The thermal treatment of hydrated calcium phosphate powder led to formation of hydroxyapatite matrix.

Nanostructured materials have been largely studied in the last few years because they have a great potential to applications in different fields like physics, chemistry, biology, mechanic and medicine. Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials is a subject of great interest involving science, market, politicians, government and society. The nanostructured materials are in demand in biomedical area, mainly the bioceramics composed of calcium phosphates (Ca/P), which have an excellent biocompatibility and mineralogical characteristics similar to those of bones. The aim of this work was to optimize the method of powder synthesis of nanostructured calcium phosphate and of nanocomposites composed of calcium phosphate//SiO2n, containing 5, 10 and 15% (in volume) of nanometric silica (SiO2n). The results are expressed according to the method of synthesis, mineralogical and morphological characterization, and thermal behavior for the different compositions of the nanostructured powder synthesized.

Calcium phosphates biocements are biomaterials that present crystallographic and mineralogical characteristics similar to human skeletal structure. This has led to the development of new calcium phosphates biomaterials for biomedical applications, especially biomaterials for repairing defects and bone reconstruction. Calcium phosphates biocements are a promising alternative in biomedical applications, for they are easy to mold, they have good wettability, hydration and hardening capacity during its application in biological means. This work aimed at the synthesis of hydrated calcium phosphates powder, through a simple reactive method, which will be the basis for the production of calcium phosphate biocimentos with self-setting reaction. Three calcium phosphates compositions were produced via CaCO3/phosphoric acid reactive method in the ratios Ca/P = 1,5; 1,6 e 1,67 molar. The presented results are associated to hydrated powder morphology and synthesis process control. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) helped with the morphological characterization of the powders, the laser analysis method was used for determining particle size and the Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) gave support to the identification of H2O e PO43-grouping vibrational bands. The work showed that for the different powder compositions the hydrated calcium phosphate phase is formed by clustered fine particles. This demonstrated that the chosen synthesis method permits the obtention of hydrated calcium phosphates, precursors for later biocement production.

In this paper we report the results on synthesis of a composite biomaterial based on biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and poly-(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (DLPLG). Besides, we have investigated the influence of new synthesis method on the structure and characteristics of the composite. The synthesis of biphasic calcium phosphate from Ca(NO3)2 x 4H2O and (NH4)3 PO4 in alkali environment was performed by means of precipitation technique. Composite material BCP/DLPLG was first prepared from commercial granules using chemical methods. Powdered polymer DLPLG was then homogenized at appropriate ratio with addition of biphasic calcium phosphate into the suspension. All samples were characterized by DSC, IR, X-Ray and SEM techniques.

In the last decades many investigations have been oriented toward the development of nanostructured biomaterials such as calcium phosphate ceramics, particularly those composed of stoicheiometric hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) and a-and β- tricalcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2), which present chemical and crystallographic similarities with hard tissues (bones and teeth). Because of these characteristics, these materials can be used for reconstitution and regeneration of bone tissues. The odontological and biomedical applications are still limited due to their brittle behaviour. This study was focused in the synthesis and characterization of a bone matrix of calcium phosphate (β-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HAP-101 e HAp-201). The results presented here are related to the morphological characterization of nanostructured powders from scanning electron microscopy viewpoint. X-ray diffraction was used to identifier the present phases in the powders and the infrared spectrometry (FTIR) was used to analyse OH bonds from hydroxyapatite and PO4 from calcium phosphates.

In the current work epoxy resin is chosen as matrix, treated Sacharum offinarum ( SugarCane) fiber, Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar)/ Fillet miller (Ragi) filler are chosen as reinforcement. Room temperature cured Epoxy System filled with Sacharum offinarum fiber and Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar)/ Fillet miller (Ragi) filler are synthesised by mechanical shear mixer, then kept in a Ultra sonic Sonicator for better dispersion of Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar)/ Fillet miller (Ragi) filler in the matrix. Different weights of modified Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar)/ Fillet miller (Ragi) filler (1,2,3,4,5 gm wt) has been incorporated into the Epoxy matrix in order to study the variation of Mechanical and Thermal properties.
