Revising the Subsystem Nurse's A-Phase-Silicocarnotite within the System Ca₃(PO₄)₂-Ca₂SiO₄.

ABSTRACT: The subsystem Nurse's A-phase-silicocarnotite within the system Ca₃(PO₄)₂-Ca₂SiO₄ was conducted as a preliminary step toward obtaining new biomaterials with controlled microstructures. Phase composition of the resulting ceramics was studied by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy with attached wavelength dispersive spectroscopy. The results showed that the sub-system presents an invariant eutectoid point at 1366 ± 4 °C with a composition of 59.5 wt % Ca₃(PO₄)₂ and 40.5 wt % Ca₂SiO₄, and typical eutectoid microstructure of lamellae morphology. These results are in disagreement with the previous reported data, which locate the invariant eutectoid point at 1250 ± 20 °C with a composition of 55 wt % Ca₃(PO₄)₂ and 45 wt % Ca₂SiO₄. In addition, cell attachment testing showed that the new eutectoid material supported the mesenchymal stem cell adhesion and spreading, and the cells established close contact with the ceramic after 28 days of culture. These findings indicate that the new ceramic material with eutectoid microstructure of lamellae morphology possesses good bioactivity and biocompatibility and might be a promising bone implant material.

Phase-separated Ca and Mg-based nanoparticles in SiO[Formula: see text] glass investigated by molecular dynamics simulations.

Project description:The development of new applications based on glass doped with nanoparticles is growing in interest during the last years. The structure and properties of Ca-based silicate nanoparticles formed in situ in a silica matrix through a phase separation mechanism were investigated by using Molecular Dynamics simulations and compared to nanoparticles formed from MgO-codoping. We showed that such nanoparticles have non-spherical shape, are amorphous and inhomogeneously distributed in the host glass. In this modeled structure, a release of non-bridging oxygen atoms, due to a depolymerization phenomenon of the nanoparticles' silica network, was observed. Besides, we demonstrated that nanoparticles' composition is size-dependent. Compared to Mg-silicate nanoparticles, Ca-based nanoparticles are larger, less concentrated in Ca, and we observed a steeper concentration change during the phase separation process. Those differences are related to the diffusion coefficients of Ca and Mg. This numerical analysis informs on the alkaline-earth nanoparticles' properties within a host silica glass, which can be a relevant guide for the development of new materials for applications such as nanoparticle-doped optical fibers.

Rietveld refinement of whitlockite-related K(0.8)Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7).

Project description:The title compound, K(0.8)Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7) (potassium deca-calcium iron hepta-phosphate), belongs to the whitlockite family. The structure is built up from several types of metal-oxygen polyhedra: two [CaO(8)], one [CaO(7)] and one [(Ca/Fe)O(6)] polyhedron with a mixed Ca/Fe occupancy in a 0.8:0.2 ratio, as well as three tetra-hedral [PO(4)] units. Of the 18 sites in the asymmetric unit, the site with the mixed Ca/Fe occupation, the K site, one P and one O site are on special positions 6a with 3 symmetry, whereas all other sites are on general positions 18b. The linkage of metal-oxygen polyhedra and [PO(4)] tetra-hedra via edges and corners results in formation of a three-dimensional framework with composition [Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7)](0.8-). The remaining K atoms (site-occupation factor = 0.8) are located in large closed cavities and are nine-coordinated by oxygen.

Robertsite, Ca(2)Mn(III) (3)O(2)(PO(4))(3)·3H(2)O.

Project description:Robertsite, ideally Ca(2)Mn(3)O(2)(PO(4))(3)·3H(2)O [calcium manganese(III) tris-(orthophosphate) trihydrate], can be associated with the arseniosiderite structural group characterized by the general formula Ca(2)A(3)O(2)(TO(4))(3)·nH(2)O, with A = Fe, Mn; T = As, P; and n = 2 or 3. In this study, single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were used to determine the robertsite structure from a twinned crystal from the type locality, the Tip Top mine, Custer County, South Dakota, USA, and to refine anisotropic displacement parameters for all atoms. The general structural feature of robertsite resembles that of the other two members of the arseniosiderite group, the structures of which have previously been reported. It is characterized by sheets of [MnO(6)] octa-hedra in the form of nine-membered pseudo-trigonal rings. Located at the center of each nine-membered ring is a PO(4) tetra-hedron, and the other eight PO(4) tetra-hedra sandwich the Mn-oxide sheets. The six different Ca(2+) ions are seven-coordinated in form of distorted penta-gonal bipyramids, [CaO(5)(H(2)O)(2)], if Ca-O distances less than 2.85?Å are considered. Along with hydrogen bonding involving the water mol-ecules, they hold the manganese-phosphate sheets together. All nine [MnO(6)] octa-hedra are distorted by the Jahn-Teller effect.

SiO₂-CaO-P₂O₅ Bioactive Glasses: A Promising Curcuminoids Delivery System.

Project description:In this paper, we report the study of the loading and the release of curcuminoids by bioactive glasses (BG) and mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBG). Through a detailed spectroscopic study, it was possible to determine the amount and the type of molecules released in water and in simulated body fluid (SBF). In particular, curcumin and K2T21 show a good ability to be released in di-keto and keto-enolic form, depending from the pH. However, after 24 h, the amount of pristine curcumin release is very low with a consequent increment of degradation products derived by curcuminoids. The presence of -OH groups on curcuminoids is a fundamental pre-requisite in order to obtain a high loading and release in polar solution such as water and SBF. The substrate on which we loaded the drugs does not seem to affect significantly the loading and the release of the drugs. The environment, instead, affects the release: for all the drugs, the release in SBF, buffered at pH of 7.4, is slightly worse than the release in water (basic pH values).

Efficient Solar Light Photocatalyst Made of Ag3PO4 Coated TiO2-SiO2 Microspheres.

Project description:Solar light active photocatalyst was prepared as silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) coating on titania-silica (TiO2-SiO2) microspheres. Titania-silica microsphere was obtained by spray drying TiO2-SiO2 colloidal solutions, whereas Ag3PO4 was applied by wet impregnation. XRD on the granules and SEM analysis show that the silver phosphate particles cover the surface of the titania-silica microspheres, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance analysis highlights that Ag3PO4/TiO2-SiO2 composites can absorb the entire visible light spectrum. BET measurements show higher specific surface area of the composite samples compared to bare Ag3PO4. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by dye degradation tests under solar light irradiation. The prepared catalysts follow a pseudo-first-order rate law for dye degradation tests under solar light irradiation. The composite catalysts with an Ag3PO4/TiO2-SiO2 ratio of 1:1.6 wt% show better catalytic activity towards both rhodamine B and methylene blue degradation and compared with the results with uncoated TiO2-SiO2 microspheres and the benchmark commercial TiO2 (Evonik-P25) as a reference. The composite photocatalyst showed exceptional efficiency compared to its pristine counterparts and reference material. This is explained as having a higher surface area with optimum light absorption capacity.

Transport through the Golgi apparatus by rapid partitioning within a two-phase membrane system.

Project description:The prevailing view of intra-Golgi transport is cisternal progression, which has a key prediction--that newly arrived cargo exhibits a lag or transit time before exiting the Golgi. Instead, we find that cargo molecules exit at an exponential rate proportional to their total Golgi abundance with no lag. Incoming cargo molecules rapidly mix with those already in the system and exit from partitioned domains with no cargo privileged for export based on its time of entry into the system. Given these results, we constructed a new model of intra-Golgi transport that involves rapid partitioning of enzymes and transmembrane cargo between two lipid phases combined with relatively rapid exchange among cisternae. Simulation and experimental testing of this rapid partitioning model reproduced all the key characteristics of the Golgi apparatus, including polarized lipid and protein gradients, exponential cargo export kinetics, and cargo waves.

Effects of Impurities on CaSO4 Crystallization in the Ca(H2PO4)2-H2SO4-H3PO4-H2O System.

Project description:Wet-process phosphoric acid is a fundamental process in the fertilizer industry. The influence of impurities on crystallization kinetics of CaSO4 was investigated in the Ca(H2PO4)2-H2SO4-H3PO4-H2O system using a mixed suspension mixed product removal crystallizer. Effects of Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, and Na on crystal morphology and structure were examined in the highly acidic system through scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the increase of Mg, K, and Na content facilitates crystal growth. Si, Al, and Fe are beneficial to CaSO4 crystal growth at a certain concentration range. Impurities also affect the crystal morphology, and the addition of Si, Fe, and Na promotes the formation of needle-like crystals compared with other impurities. X-ray diffraction results show that the preferred crystal growth direction is (020), and the interplanar spacing of the crystals is affected by the element radius of the impurities.

Improvement of Luminescence Properties of Eulytite Single-Phase White Emitting Ca3Bi (PO4)3: Ce3+/Dy3+ Phosphor.

Project description:To reduce the issue of tri-primary color reabsorption, a new approach for single-phase phosphors as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has been recommended. The structures, morphology, photoluminescence, thermal stability, and luminescence mechanism of a variety of Ca3Bi (PO4)3 (CBPO): Ce3+/Dy3+ phosphors were investigated. XRD characterization showed that all CBPO samples were eulytite structures. Furthermore, the energy transfer process from Ce3+ to Dy3+ in CBPO is systematically investigated in this work, and the color of light can be adjusted by changing the ratio of doped ions. Under UV light, energy is transferred from Ce3+-Dy3+ mainly through quadrupole-quadrupole interactions in the CBPO host, and doping with different Dy3+ concentrations tunes the emission color from blue to white. The thermal stability of the CBPO: 0.04Ce3+, 0.08Dy3+ samples is outstanding, and the CIE coordinates of the samples after emission have little effect with temperature, while their emission intensity at 423 K is as strong as that at room temperature, reaching 90%. The above results indicate that this CBPO material has great potential as a white light phosphor under near-UV excitation at the optimized concentration of Ce3+ and Dy3+.

Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Core-Shell-Shell Composites: SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb@SiO₂ and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen@SiO₂.

Project description:Two novel core-shell composites SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb, SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen with SiO₂ as the core and terbium organic complex as the shell, were successfully synthesized. The terbium ion was coordinated with organic ligand forming terbium organic complex in the shell layer. The bi-functional organosilane ((HOOC)₂C₆H₂(CONH(CH₂)₃Si(OCH₂CH₃)₃)₂ (abbreviated as PMDA-Si) was used as the first ligand and phen as the second ligand. Furthermore, the silica-modified SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb@SiO₂ and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen@SiO₂ core-shell-shell composites were also synthesized by sol-gel chemical route. An amorphous silica shell was coated around the SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen core-shell composites. The core-shell and core-shell-shell composites both exhibited excellent luminescence in solid state. The luminescence of core-shell-shell composites was stronger than that of core-shell composites. Meanwhile, an improved luminescence stability property for the core-shell-shell composites was found in the aqueous solution. The core-shell-shell composites exhibited bright luminescence, high stability, long lifetime, and good solubility, which may present potential applications in the bio-medical field.
