Dynamic light scattering study of amorphous calcium phosphate formation
Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) attracts attention as a precursor to calcium phosphates (CaPs) formation in vitro and in vivo and due its excellent biological properties. In general, the dominant mechanism of ACP formation in vitro is aggregation. Calcium and phosphate ions associate forming prenucleation clusters, which aggregate to spherical ACP nanosized particles, which in turn aggregate to chain-like aggregates. A widely used technique for following nanoparticles aggregation in general is dynamic light scattering (DLS). However, DLS was scarcely used for the investigation of calcium phosphates. The aim of this research was to use DLS for following ACP formation kinetics at different supersaturations. Precipitation of ACP was initiated by fast mixing of equimolar reactant solutions. Induction time for nucleation of crystalline phase, i.e. time needed for the commencement of ACP transformation, was determined from potentiometric measurements. DLS was used to follow the changes in ACP particles sizes during induction time. Information about initial formation rates was obtained from initial change of hydrodynamic diameter of particles with time, when this change was linear. Formed ACP was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). During induction time spherical particles and their chain like aggregates, characteristic for ACP, were formed as confirmed by AFM and FTIR. The initial formation rates, as well as the size of the particles, depended on the initial supersaturation.
