Abstract:
In the present study, a novel approach for surface characterization of ceramic biomaterials is proposed. Two ceramic biomaterials-hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate-were examined by means of inverse liquid chromatography. The Abraham LFER model was applied for physicochemical characteristics of the surface. Different compounds, characterized by different polarity and different donor-acceptor properties of functional group, were used as test solutes. The chromatographic experiments were carried out with two compositions of the mobile phase: pure acetonitrile (MeCN) and the mixture of acetonitrile and water in 80:20 ratio (MeCN/H2O). Thus, the influence of mobile phase on sorption properties of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate surface was also discussed.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
