Study of the interface electrolyte solution/solid with technological and biological interest

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite {Ca5(PO4)3OH, HAP}, which is the thermodynamically most stable crystalline phase of calcium phosphate, is known to be a highly biocompatible material. Hard tissues of higher mammals including bone, dentin, and dental enamel are natural composites that contain hydroxyapatite (or a similar mineral), bound with proteins, other organic materials and water. The interaction of biomolecules with the surface of HAP is of great importance in systems where biological fluids are in contact with hard tissues. Proteins and/or peptides strongly adsorbed on HAP have been implicated in the mineralization of hard tissues, in some cases as accelerators, while in others as inhibitors. The acid-base properties of synthetically prepared and well-characterized hydroxyapatite (HAP) in contact with KNO3 solutions were investigated at 25 oC, through potentiometric titrations, ζ potential measurements and surface complex modeling. Aliquots of suspension were withdrawn every 0.5 pH unit during the ...
