Abstract

The mineralization of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) crystals in gel media was studied in the presence of a magnetic field. OCP crystal growth was found to be dependent on mineralization temperature, mineralization time, and the magnetic field. Higher temperatures significantly reduced the mineralization time, which is crucial for directional growth of OCP crystals. The growth of OCP crystals was accelerated by the applied magnetic field, while OCP crystals generated in the presence of a magnetic field exhibited increased length and width of oriented growth. This study provides valuable insights into the influence of mineralization factors in bioprocessing-inspired manufacturing processes.
