Abstract
Calcium phosphate based biomaterials play important roles in clinical applications. Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP), a kind of calcium phosphate, can be used as a bone substitution material as well as a bone graft. Because of its similarity to inorganic component of bone and teeth it can be used for surface coating of metallic dental and orthopedic implants. In the present study, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) nanoparticles were synthesized using surfactant mediated approach. Crystalline nature and average crystallite size was studied using Powder XRD. The CPPD nanocrystallites were found to be triclinic from powder XRD. The TEM study indicated that CPPD nanoparticles were in the range of 13 nm to 20 nm. The presence of various bonds was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The amount of water of hydration and the thermal stability was studied by thermogravimetry. The variations of various dielectric parameters with the frequency of applied field in 3.2 kHz to 32 MHz range and within a temperature range from 60°C to 120°C were studied. The formation of other phases such as β-CPP and α-CPP on heating of CPPD at 900°C and 1250°C, respectively, were studied by the Powder XRD. The results are discussed.Keywords
