Water dispersible hydroxyapatite nanoparticles functionalized by a family of aminoalkyl phosphates

A series of aminoalkyi phosphates(AAP-n,with carbon number n ranging from 2 to 6) are used as surface modifiers to prepare hydroxyapatite hydrocolloids.The resulting nanoparticles(Cn-HA) possess a coreshell structure where an ionized layer of calcium-(AAP-n) complex[^+H3N-(CH2)n-OPO3Ca]encapsulates...

Description
Summary:A series of aminoalkyi phosphates(AAP-n,with carbon number n ranging from 2 to 6) are used as surface modifiers to prepare hydroxyapatite hydrocolloids.The resulting nanoparticles(Cn-HA) possess a coreshell structure where an ionized layer of calcium-(AAP-n) complex[^+H3N-(CH2)n-OPO3Ca]encapsulates each hydroxyapatite core.Long-term colloidal stability is achieved due to the electrostatic repulsion among the suspending particles.The incorporation of AAP-n results in a preferential crystal growth along c-axis,showing an increasing aspect ratio of particles from C2-HA to C6-HA.Preliminary cell culture using osteoblast-like MG63 cells shows no cytotoxicity associated with the as-prepared Cn-HA particles.The functional amino groups around the nanoparticles could be used to graft various organic chains to prepare homogeneous HA/polymer composites as bone grafting materials.
