The dispersion of hydroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH, HAP, in aqueous systems in the presence of variety of polymers of different composition and ionic charge has been investigated. The dispersion data show that polymer effectiveness as HAP dispersant strongly depends upon polymer architecture. It has been found that phosphonates exhibit poor performance as HAP dispersants. Additionally, it has also been observed that phosphonates exhibit antagonistic effect on the performance of anionic polymeric dispersants. (Received Sep. 30, 2015; Accepted Nov. 30, 2015)

Phosphate invert glasses (PIGs) containing niobium were prepared by a conventional melt-quenching method and the structures and chemical durability of the glasses and osteoblast-like cell responses to them were examined. Raman and solid state P NMR spectra of the glasses demonstrated that two types of niobate groups, NbO4 and NbO6 units, were contained in the glasses and prepared to combine to pyrophosphate structure than orthophosphate one. The chemical durability in Tris-HCl solution was increased with the increase in the niobium content in the glasses, since niobium replaced to phosphorus and contributed to the formation of P-O-Nb and Nb-O-Nb bonds, which are stronger than P-O-P bond. The niobium ions released from the glasses enhanced the differentiation and mineralization of the cells, rather than the initial adhesion and proliferation. The upregulation of these cell functions by the niobium ions possessed doze-dependence; the medium containing 1 x 10 M of the ions exhibited the highest levels of the cell functions.

Fe(III)-treated hydroxyapatite, HAP-300-Fe or HAP-400-Fe, which was prepared by treatment of almost stoichiometric hydroxyapatite HAP-300 or Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite HAP-400 with Fe(III) aqueous solution, was investigated in adsorption of aquatic humic substances, Nordic aquatic humic acid (NHA), Nordic aquatic fulvic acid (NFA), and Suwannee river fulvic acid (SFA), at 25 ̊C for 6 h. HAP-400-Fe indicated higher adsorbability than HAP-300-Fe or the raw hydroxyapatite HAP-400. Further, HAP-400-Fe was investigated as a heterogeneous catalyst in photo-Fenton reaction of NHA, NFA, and SFA at 25 ̊C for 20 h in water. Although all the humic substances were subjected to oxidation or decolorization by catalysis of HAP-400-Fe, the humic substance molecules adsorbed on HAP-400-Fe were slightly degraded and mineralized. This is possibly due to steric hindrance of catalysis by those large adsorbed molecules themselves and/or due to a property to scavenge hydroxyl radicals by Ar-OH groups of those molecules.

β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) has a fast rate of bioabsorption, and has been used clinically as bioabsorbant ceramics that is absorbed in vivo and gradually replaced by newly formed bone. Here, we focus on various metal ions with regards to their solid solution substitution in β-TCP, and explain the effects of ion substitution in β-TCP on properties such as structural stability and solubility from a crystal chemistry viewpoint. We also discuss the possibility of metal-ion-subsituted β-TCP materials as hard tissue replacements. (Received Dec. 30, 2014; Accepted Feb. 21, 2015)

Thin films of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) with doping Ti(IV) ion were prepared. These prepared films were characterized by XRD, UV-vis transmission, FT-IT (RAS), and wettability. These characterization indicated that phase separation such as TiO2 did not occur and that substitution with Ti(IV) occurred at Ca site. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by methylene blue decomposition, and the results suggested that the activity was enhanced by doping Ti(IV). (Received Jan. 16, 2014; Accepted Mar. 5, 2014) INTRODUCTION Previously we have reported preparation of photocatalytic thin film 1 based on a novel apatite Ti-doped calcium hydroxyapatite (TiHAP), 2 which have calcium hydroxyapatite (HAP) structure partially substituted with Ti 4+ ions at calcium sites. This photocatalyst is found to be different from composite systems of TiO2 and an adsorbent (apatite, activated carbon, zeolite, and so on). Yoneyama et al. have revealed that stronger adsorbents lowered the photocatalytic activity of the composite because it prevents migration of adsorbed pollutants on the composite surface. 3 The problem of this composite system is attributable to a distance between photocatalytic site and adsorptive site. However, this apatite-based photocatalyst is not thought to have such problem, and the strong adsorptive ability of apatite may be effectively available. Several groups reported catalytic activities of calcium phosphates such as thermal oxidation reaction of alcohols, trichloroethylene, and so on. 4,5 Nishikawa suggested a possibility of OH radical reactions, 6 that is, OH radical forms thermally at the surface of CP and attacks adsorbed substrates. In the case of TiHAP, it may form photochemically. Doping of metal ion was reported by Suzuki et al 7 and Wakamura et al 8,9 for HAP with many divalent and trivalent metal ions such as Pb 2+ , Sn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Al 3+ , La 3+ , Fe 3+ , and Cr 3+ , and Hashimoto et al 10,11 for -TCP for Li + , Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , Sr 2+ , and Al 3+ , for example. In many cases, limits of the concentration for solid solutions are not so high, and especially for TiHAP, it was suggested that the substitution with Ti 4+ was occurred at columnar site probably with a certain amount of Ca-deficiency. 12 For –TCP, the substitution site may depend on radius of doped metal ion. 10 Anyway, doping of metal ion causes changes in lattice constants and perturbation of electronic states, so that it is plausibly expected that doping of metal ions promote photochemical generation of OH radical.
