| Abstract: | Biomimetic growth of calcium phosphate compounds on porous polyurethane (PU) treated with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy–attenuated total reflectance (FTIR–ATR). Polyurethane was treated with TEOS in order to produce silanol groups which stimulated the growth of hydroxyapatite when immersed in SBF solution. Polyurethanes that were not treated with TEOS did not show calcium phosphate growth upon immersion in SBF solution. The Ca and P determined by EDAX and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) analysis revealed that the surface layer was not stoichiometric hydroxyapatite, but carbonated, containing hydroxyapatite with a Ca/P ratio of 1.5–1.6. This was confirmed by FTIR–ATR. |
