Chemical and Biological Analysis of Bioceramic Calcium Phosphate Coatings for Medical Purposes
4 Nov 2014In this application note, thin film XRD was employed for qualitative analysis of the chemical and biological properties of biomedical, electrosprayed calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings. XRD analysis provided in-depth examination of the relationship between processing conditions and the chemical nature of the deposited coatings. In addition, the reactivity of electrosprayed CaP coatings was monitored under in vitro and in vivo testing conditions.

X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
