Is there a chemical interaction between calcium phosphates and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) in
1Research Institute of Fertilizers, Kudrinskaja sq. 1 - 155, 123242 Moscow D-242, Russia.
Abstract:
Solid composites of calcium phosphates and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) were prepared at temperatures of 121 degrees C. Three biologically relevant calcium phosphates were studied: CaHPO(4). 2H(2)O (DCPD), calcium deficient apatite (CDA), and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Properties of the solid composites obtained were studied with FTIR, X-ray diffraction, and SEM techniques. Special attention was devoted to seeking a possible chemical interaction between calcium phosphates and HPMC. No interaction was found. Thus, HPMC was proven to have no influence on chemical properties of calcium phosphates.
