Abstract:
Cold isostatic pressing successfully formed a chelate complex of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8 Hq) molecules on plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating by solid-state reaction. The complex emits a fluorescence peak at approximately 500 nm by UV irradiation. The red shift of the fluorescence was newly observed in the cases of highly compressed complex due to π - π stacking of aromatic ring in the molecular structure of 8 Hq. The immersed complex coating in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) demonstrated amorphous apatite precipitation and kept its fluorescence property.
