Hydroxyapatite(HAp)는 인체의 뼈를 구성하는 주성분으로 생체친화성, 단백질 흡착성, 항균성 등이 우수하여 정형외과 분야의 골 대체제로 사용되어 오고 있다[3]. 하지만, HAp는 너무 딱딱하고 부서지기 쉬워 특별한 형태로의 성형이 어렵고, 이식된 부분으로부터 쉽게 떨어져 나오는 문제점을 갖고 있다[1,2] 따라서 HAp의 이러한 기계적인 특성을 보완할 수 있는 HAp/유기물질 복합소재 개발에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. (중략)

The microstructure of nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders coating layer on ZrO$_2$ substrate was investigated, which was formed by plasma spray process. The nano-sized HAp powders were successfully synthesized by precipitation of Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$$.$4H$_2$O and (NH$_4$)$_2$HPO$_4$ solution. The HAp coating layer with thickness of 150∼250 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was free from the cracks at interfaces between the coating and ZrO$_2$ substrate. In the plasma sprayed HAp coating layer, the undesirable phases were not found, while in the HAp coating layer heat-treated at 800$^{\circ}C$, TTCP, and ${\beta}$-TCP phase were detected as well as HAp phase. However, at 900$^{\circ}C$, they were completely disappeared. At 1100$^{\circ}C$, XRD analysis revealed that the coating layer was composed of the highly crystallized HAp.

Cadmium (Cd) adsorption by the activated carbon containing hydroxyapatite (HAP) was investigated. Cd adsorption with different HAP mass ranged from 10% to 30%. With more HAP, more Cd was adsorbed. These results suggest that the higher HAP dose causes an increase of the ion exchange potential in HAP sorbent. Kinetics and equilibrium studies were investigated in series of batch adsorption experiments. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were fit to the equilibrium data and Cd adsorption on HAP sorbent were found to follow the Freundlich isotherm model well in the initial adsorbate concentration range. The simple kinetic model, the pseudo first order kinetic model and the pseudo second order kinetic model, were used to investigate the adsorption. The adsorption reaction of Cd followed the pseudo second order kinetic model, and the adsorption pseudo second order kinetic constants ($k_2$) increased with increasing initial HAP amounts onto activated carbon. Also, intraparticle diffusion model was used to investigate the adsorption mechanism between adsorbate and adsorbent in the aqueous phase. Surface adsorption reaction and intraparticle diffusion occur simultaneously Cd adsorption mechanism from aqueous phase in this study.

Hydroxyapatite $(HAp,\;Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2)$/alumina composites were fabricated with the addition of fluorides, such as $MgF_2$ and $CaF_2$. In this study, the effect of fluorides on the inhibition of phase decomposition and the mechanical properties of HAp was investigated. Due to the higher solubility of F ion in HAp structure, $MgF_2$ additive was more effective compared to $CaF_2$ additive in the lowering decomposition temperature of HAp. Therefore, the dissociation tendency of HAp was fully inhibited below $1400^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties of HAp composites with $MgF_2$ additive showed higher value (flexural strength: $\~170MPa$, Vickers hardness: $\~7\;GPa$, fracture toughness: $\~1.5\;MPam^{1/2}$) compared to $MgF_2-free$ composites. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of HAp composites with $MgF_2$ showed the value of $16.4\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C\;at\;20\~400^{\circ}C $.

In the preparation of a hydroxyapatite [HAp]/gelatin [GEL] nanocomposite, the GEL matrix in aqueous solution of $H_3PO_4$ was modified by the introduction of aspartic acid [Asp], asparagine [Asn], and glycine [Gly]. The addition of Asp, Asn and Gly greatly affected the slurry formation of HAp/GEL nanocomposite and the resulting dry body showed variations in toughness with the addition of the different amino acids. The introduction of Asn into HAp/GEL nanocomposite was effective for producing the organic-inorganic interaction between HAp and GEL, and caused the increase of toughness. The formation reaction of the modified HAP/GEL nanocomposites was investigated by using XRD and FT-IR. The organic-organic interaction between the GEL matrix and the additives of Asp, Asn and Gly was confirmed from FT-IR analysis, and the organic-inorganic interaction between HAp nanocrystallites and the modified GEL matrix was also discussed, using FT-IR spectra patterns. Nanocrystallites of HAp were covalently bound with the GEL macromolecules and differently influenced by the modification species of Asp, Asn, and Gly.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis method and also silver was introduced on the surface of HAP through an ion exchange reaction. The crystal phase and morphology of HAP were then evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, the absorption property of HAP was characterized by diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy. The presence of silver nanoparticles on the surface of HAP was also verified by XRD and TEM analysis. Particularly, the silver doped HAP showed an enhanced absorption property in UV-Vis region compared to that of the pristine HAP.

The well-crystalline hydroxyapatite($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$ ; HAp) layer having a biocompatibility was successfully coated onto titanium substrate using a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, and effects of sputtering gas and the thickness of HAp film on a crystal growth of the HAp layers were investigated. The deposition rate of the layer sputtered with water-vapour gas was slower than that of the layer sputtered with argon gas. The results of X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the about $0.8\mu\textrm{m}$ thick HAp film under water-vapour gas was an amorphous phase, the about $1.2\mu\textrm{m}$ thick film was (100) plane-oriented HAp, and the about $1.5\mu\textrm{m}$ thick film was (001)plane-oriented HAp. FT-IR analysis proved that hydroxyl group of the layer sputtered with argon gas was defected, but that of the layer sputtered with water-vapour gas was not defected. From these results, it was favorable to use water-vapour gas on the HAp coatings onto metal surface.

공기 중 산소를 이용한 다양한 산화반응에 적합한 이종상 촉매 개발이 공업적으로나, 학문적으로 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 우리는 수산화 인회석(hydroxyapatite, HAP)에 Ru이 도입된 새로운 이종상 촉매를 합성하였으며, 이를 이용하여 알콜 산화 반응을 통해 반응성을 관찰하였다. 우리는 다양한 형태의 결정구조와 표면구조를 가지는 HAP를 합성하였으며, 이를 AFM, ICP, XRD, SEM를 통하여 결정구조를 분석하였다. 각각에 대해서 수용액상에서 Ion exchange 반응을 통하여 Ru를 HAP 표면에 치환하여 여러 종류의 RuHAP를 합성하였다. 특히, 알콜 산화반응을 통해 HAP의 결정 형태에 따라서 반응성의 차이를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. HAP는 Molten salt synthesis 방법을 이용하여 합성한 일정한 형태의 단결정과 무정형의 다결정 즉, 두 가지 다른 형태를 이용하여 각각에 대해 칼슘이 부족한 형태로써, Ca과 Ru과의 Ion exchange 반응을 통해 다양한 종류의 HAP를 합성하여 알콜 산화반응의 촉매로서 가지는 반응성을 연구하였다.

Hydroxyapatite(HAp) powders were synthesized by wet-precipitation precess using $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and homogeneous composites of four type were prepared by mixing of synthetic HAp and Polyacrylic Acid(PAA). Ca/P ratio of synthetic HAps was determined using ICP analysis and the thermal property of HAp/PAA composites were investigated by TGA. Good crystalline HAp was obtained at pH 11 and $60{\circ}C$. The ratio of Ca/P in synthetic HAps was quantified in a range of 1.35~1.49, from which Ca-deficient HAp was obtained. The specific surface area of HAp/PAA composite increased with increasing the content of PAA and the weight loss of HAp/PAA composite at $800{\circ}C$ decreased in a range of 3.5~9.6% due to the degradation of PAA binder. From FT-IR analysis of HAp/PAA composite, it was confirmed that the ionic bond between ion of HAp and carboxyl group of PAA was formed.

Composites of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and chitosan (CS) have been successfully used in bone healing in humans and animals. However, the characteristics of HAp and CS are different. Therefore, the effects of HAp/CS composites on canine bone formation could differ according to their ratio. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of different contents ratios (100, 80:20, 60:40 wt%) on bone defects in a canine model. Thirty intrabony cylindrical defects were created in the humeruses and femurs of 5 beagle dogs, and then the defects were implanted with different composites. The evaluations were performed using radiographs obtained at 10 weeks post-surgery and by histological findings. In radiographic evaluation including the grades of bone filling, periosteal and endosteal reactions, pure hydroxyapatite composite had a significant effect on bone filling, and chitosan containing the composites showed vigorous responses at the periosteum and endosteum. In histological findings, the defect implanted with pure hydroxyapatite had healed completely into mature bony tissue with an obvious osteon structure, and the defect implanted with chitosan containing the composites had the amount of fibrous connective tissue increased significantly within the cortical bone tissue. The results indicate that hydroxyapatite/chitosan composites are therapeutically useful, promoting effective bone healing in defects when the ratio of hydroxyapatite is high and enhanced fibrous connective tissue formation at the periosteum as more chitosan is added.
