Abstract
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).
