XRD patterns of BCP powders; (a)<br />

d, (b) as-calcined.<br />

FTIR<br />

spectra for the as-synthesized<br />

powderss<br />

presented in Fig. 2(a) have<br />

indicated the vibrational<br />

modes of PO4 groups at 574, 603, and 1020-1120 cm - 1<br />

and OH groups (630 and 3570 cm -1 ) of apatite phasee<br />

for the powders. FTIR patterns also tend to coincidee<br />

with the results from XRD by the way that thee<br />

as-synthesize<br />

d powders were characteristic<br />

of<br />

crystalline HAp phase. The presencee of adsorbedd<br />

water could be detected from FTIR spectra in thee<br />

region around 3300-3600 cm -1 . Otherr informationn<br />

from FTIR spectra of as-synthesized<br />

powders iss<br />

presence of carbonates groups at 870 cm<br />

-1 , which aree<br />

due to the adsorption of species remaining from thee<br />

aqueous precipitation. The presence of o nitrates inn<br />

the as-synthesized powders is clearly witnessed inn<br />

the FTIR patterns in the region around at 825 andd<br />

1385 cm -1 . From the FTIR<br />

spectra presented in Fig.<br />

2(b), the overall spectra are appeared at havingg<br />

mainly two modes corresponding to characteristicc<br />

c<br />

PO4P<br />

3- and OH<br />

- groups.<br />

Fig.2. FT-IR spectra of BCP powders; (a) as-synthesized, (b)<br />

as-calcined.<br />

To determine the changes in the degradationn behavior of thee<br />

prepared BCP powders as a function of soaking time inn<br />

HBSS. Fig. 3 shows the typical features off powders after<br />

immersing in HBSS for 1, 2, and 3 weeks, respectively.<br />

After<br />

immersion in HBSS for 1 week, thee<br />

precipitation<br />

starts to be<br />

formed with individual<br />

small pieces on each BCP powders. With increase of<br />

soaking time, the pieces gradually grow<br />

together to<br />

form a densee layer on the overall BCP powderss<br />

surface. The EDS analysis showed thee new formedd<br />

precipitates had<br />

the Ca and P, indicating calcium deficient<br />

apatite phase.<br />

Fig.4. Changes of o Ca 2+ and PO44 3- ions concentrations in<br />

HBSS immersedd with calcined BCP powder with 3 weeks.<br />

The ICP-AESS analysis reveals the changes of Ca 2+<br />

and PO4 3- concentrations inn HBSS after immersing<br />

the BCP powder, as shown in Fig. 4. The<br />

concentration<br />

of Ca 2+ and PO4 3- ions and in HBSS<br />

continually<br />

decreased d<br />

with<br />

immersing<br />

time,<br />

suggesting that the Ca 2+ and PO4 3- ions might be<br />

consumed by formation f of a new product. the Ca 2+<br />

and PO4 3- ions in HBSS were continuously consumed,<br />

which indicated that the Ca 2+ and PO44 3- ions were<br />

supersaturatedd around thee magnesiumm substituted<br />

BCP powder and a a new calcium deficient apatite<br />

phase continually grew on the sample surfaces with<br />

increase of immersing time.<br />

This study demonstrates that the co-precipitation<br />

method is an effective e technique for preparing BCPs<br />

whose content in β-TCP and HAp can be precisely<br />

determined from the precursor solutions. After<br />

immersion in HBSS H for 1 week, precipitation started<br />

at<br />

individual small particles on the BCP powders.<br />

With increases in the soaking time, the t particles<br />

gradually greww together andd formed a dense layer on<br />

the specimen surface. s Furthermore, BCP have been<br />

shown to be effective for<br />

new bonee generation<br />

implant materials.<br />

During the two months of f collaboration with Prof.<br />

H.Kato and staff s members, we have done some<br />

valuable explorations to synthesize some novel<br />

biomaterials by b using the e advanced apparatus in<br />

IMR and WPI. These materials have a great<br />

potential for medical m applications.<br />

I would like too express my sincere gratitude to Prof.<br />

H.Kato for the t invitation to IMR of Tohoku
