The Doctoral Thesis is devoted to synthesis and characterization of amorphous calcium phosphate materials with emphasis on their specific surface area. Ways of optimization of an existing synthesis method are investigated experimentally as well as the development of a new synthesis method for obtaining amorphous calcium phosphate with specific surface area value close to the biological calcium phosphate (>100 m2/g). Amorphous calcium phosphate obtained with the developed method is studied for its structure, stability, thermal properties, furthermore, dense amorphous calcium phosphate bioceramics has been developed using the principles of cold sintering process. The developed biomaterials are intended for bone tissue replacement and regeneration. The Thesis is prepared as a collection of articles. It contains a summary and four publications.

Amorphous and low crystalline calcium phosphates are prospective candidates for bone implant manufacturing. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) preparation technologies could be improved in terms of specific surface area (SSA) of obtained products. Current study is dedicated to the effect of synthesis temperature and Ca and P molar ratios (Ca/P) on SSA of ACP. Higher SSA can improve bioactivity of biomaterials. ACP was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and BET N2 adsorption techniques. Spherical nanoparticles (<45 nm in size) were obtained independently of initial Ca/P ratio and synthesis temperature. For the first time comparison of SSA was shown for ACP obtained at different temperatures (0 °C and 20 °C) and Ca/P molar ratios (1.5, 1.67 and 2.2).

The present study reports the synthesis method, microstructure characterization, and thermal stability of nanostructured porous mixed oxide (MoO3-WO3) at 550 and 900 °C of annealing. The material was synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The precursor was prepared by aqueous solution using ammonium heptamolibdate and ammonium metatungstate, with an atomic ratio of Mo/W = 1. The pH was adjusted to 5, and then the solution was transferred to a teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and heated at 200 °C for 48 h. The resultant material was washed using deionized water. The specific surface area, morphology, composition, and microstructure before and after annealing were studied by N2 physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The initial synthesized materials showed low crystallinity and high specific surface area around (141 m2/g). After thermal annealing the material showed higher crystallinity and diminished its specific surface area drastically.

We succeeded in the preparation of CoFe2O4/CeO2 nanocomposites with very high specific surface area (up to 264 g/m2). First, highly crystalline nanoparticles (NPs) of CoFe2O4 (4.7 nm) were prepared by hydrothermal method in water-alcohol-oleic acid system. The oleate surface coating was subsequently modified by ligand exchange to citrate. Then the NPs were embedded in CeO2 using heterogeneous precipitation from diluted Ce3+ sulphate solution. Dried samples were characterized by Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis, Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy, Mössbauer Spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. Moreover, detailed investigation of magnetic properties of the bare NPs and final composite was carried out. We observed homogeneous embedding of the magnetic NPs into the CeO2 without significant change of their size and magnetic properties. We have thus demonstrated that the proposed synthesis method is suitable for preparation of extremely fine CeO2 nanopowders and their nanocomposites with NPs. The morphology and magnetic nature of the obtained nanocomposites make them a promising candidate for magnetoresponsive catalysis.
