    Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite derived from eggshell for biomedical applications
    2018 - MOURA, ESPERIDIANA; LODIS, ALINE; REIS, PEDRO; WELLEN, RENATE
    Hydroxyapatite(HAP) a crystal-chemical analog of the bone tissue mineral component has been intensively studied in recent years as a potential bone substitute in orthopedic and dentistry because of its biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioactivity, and osteoconductive properties. Hydroxyapatite in a nanocrystalline state with uniform size and morphology has many applications in different fields of medicine ranging from targeted drug delivery to designed load-bearing implants. This work presents the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite derived from hen’s eggshell waste for biomedical applications. Firstly, bio-hydroxyapatite was synthesized by the wet precipitation method in which white hen’s eggshell waste was used. The white hen`s eggshells were washed, dried and reduced to powder with particle size ≤ 30 μm. Then, the eggshell powder was subjected to a heating cycle at 800 ° C for 3 hours to obtain calcium oxide. Calcium oxide was converted to bio-hydroxyapatite by the addition of a solution of distilled water and phosphoric acid under magnetic stirring at 100 ° C, until a viscous slurry was formed, which was oven dried at 110 ° C for 24 hours. The dried material was disintegrated and calcined at 900 ° C for 2 hours to obtain the hydroxyapatite phase. The bio-hydroxyapatite was irradiated with a high intensity ultrasonic (20 kHz, and 450W/cm2) in order to obtain nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite. These synthesized nanocrystalline hydroxyapatites have been characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, FTIR, and TG analyzes.

    In the area of nanotechnology, polymer matrix based on nanocomposites have generated a significant amount of attention in the recent literature. The achieved results were at least initially viewed as unexpected (‘‘nano-effect’’) offering improved properties over that expected from thermal and mechanics predictions. This work presents the synthesis and characterization of EVA/Clay flexible films treated by electron beam radiation. EVA with 0.5 -3 wt.% of green Brazilian Clay addition were prepared by melt extrusion process, using a twin-screw extruder Haake Rheomex P332 with 16 mm and L/D = 25, from Thermo Scientific. Then, EVA/Clay nanocomposite was transformed into flexible films using a single-screw extruder with 25 mm diameter equipped with a flat die (laboratory line) and specimen test samples were obtained. Part of flexible film samples was submitted at electron beam radiation dose range 25-100 kGy using a 1.5 MeV electron beam accelerator, at room temperature in presence of air. The irradiated and non-irradiated samples were submitted to mechanical tests, XRD, UV-VIS, DSC, TG and FE-SEM analysis. The results showed significant changes in mechanical and thermal properties of EVA/CLAY flexible film due to clay addition and electron-beam irradiation. These results showed that it is possible to get interesting property in EVA flexible films by clay addition and electron-beam radiation treatment
