CONCLUSSIONS

Kinetic reasons determine the biomimetic precipitation of XRD amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) that are a less thermodynamic stable phases in comparison with calcium hydroxyapatite;

The precipitated salts always contain impurities due to the parallel co-precipitation, ion substitution and maternal liquor incorporation. Their content depends on the nature and crystallinity of the precipitants;

Both ACP and DCPD transform into poorly crystalline apatite in the studied SBFs microenvironments. An intermediate phase of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) was registered for DCPD only.

CONCLUSSIONS

The SBF composition influences the polymorphous phase transformation and its rate - HCO3

- ions accelerate the transformation rates both of ACP and DCPD while the Glycine increases the transformation rate of ACP only.

The phase transformations of ACP and DCPD leaded to changes in the chemical compositions of solid and liquid phases. Thermodynamic simulations reveal that these phenomena could be explained by the processes of dissolution/crystallization/co-crystallization/ion-exchange.
