Abstract

In this study, nano-carbonated hydroxyapatite (n-CHAp) was successfully synthesized with abalone shells (Halioitis asinina) as the calcium source using precipitation methods with aging time variations, namely, 0 (without the aging process), 24, and 48 h. Based on an analysis of X-ray diffraction characterization, the spectrum of the n-CHAp is shown for all sample variations in aging time. The results of the calculation of lattice parameter values confirm that the phase formed is the B-type CHAp phase with the increasing crystallinity degree, crystallite size, particle size, and polydispersity which is confirmed by the presence of the CO₃^2- functional group at 1438 cm⁻¹ and 878 cm⁻¹, that is, the B-type carbonate substitution characteristic. The presence of the carbonate ions identified as smaller during the extension of aging time causes the decreasing value of the Ca/P mole ratio but still has a value greater than the HAp Ca/P value (1.67), which is 1.80–1.72. Based on the transmission electron microscopy analysis, the nanometer-size of B-type CHAp particles was successfully obtained. According to the criteria for nanostructures, crystallographic properties, carbonate content, and chemical processes, B-type CHAp samples based on abalone shells (Halioitis asinina) are one of the candidates in bioceramics for bone tissue engineering applications.

Introduction

The main mineral phases in human bones and teeth as identified through X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing have an apatite structure in the form of calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂).¹ The ions forming the calcium hydroxyapatite structure are calcium (Ca²⁺) and phosphate (PO₄^3-).² Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) is an alternative material newly used in orthopedic applications because it can support bone tissue’s ability to regenerate itself.³ HA has the lattice parameters of a = 9.433 Å and c = 6.875 Å and a variable Ca/P mole ratio of 1.67.^4,5 The advantages of n-HA are its good biocompatibility,⁶ bioactivity, and non-corrosiveness.⁷ However, in addition to calcium and phosphate ions, most of the minor mineral components in both bone and teeth are associated with biological apatites, namely, carbonate ions (CO₃^2-).⁸ The carbonate ion content in natural bones was 2–8wt% depending on age.⁹ Therefore, the context of developing bioceramics–apatite that has similar characteristics to natural bone and teeth for the content of their forming ions using hydroxyapatite (HAp) with substituted carbonate ions can be called carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHAp).

The presence of carbonate ions in biological apatites has been shown to increase metabolic tissue activity.¹⁰ The substitution of carbonate ions in the HAp lattice structure can form three types of CHAp, namely, A-type, B-type, and AB-type. Biomedical applications for biological apatites use the B-type CHAp, which are carbonate ions replacing phosphate ions in the HAp lattice structure.¹¹ The presence of B-type carbonate ions in the biological apatite structure has been shown to reduce the degree of crystallinity with the implication of increasing solubility. Therefore, it can increase the interaction ability between bioceramics as implant material and implant’s target.¹ Thus, CHAp has been developed as a biomaterial alternative, especially in bone tissue engineering applications. In recent years, it was therefore very important in repairing damaged bones and regenerating bone function.¹²

As the bioceramics for bone tissue engineering application, CHAp must have similar characteristics to natural bone and teeth where the particle size must be in nanometer size range. The material with nanometer size range can have significantly different physicochemical properties.¹³ Importantly, the physical and chemistry structure of the nanostructure can influence characteristic of cell in contact with the surface.¹⁴ Therefore, to determine whether the sample synthesized was nanometer size, it was necessary to characterize using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Transmission electron microscopy analysis can be used to determine the morphology and particle size distribution of the n-CHAp.

A variety of methods to synthesize CHAp have been developed, such as hydrothermal and precipitation methods. Precipitation methods have been shown to produce nanometer-sized material with a simple process.^15–18 The characteristics of bioceramics material can be analyzed based on its bioactivity ability, depending on several synthesis parameters, such as the deposition or aging time of the solution. Increasing the main diffraction peaks’ intensity along with the extension of solution time indicated that the crystallinity structure of CHAp increased.¹⁹

The n-CHAp synthesis process takes a source of calcium (Ca²⁺), phosphate (PO₄^3-), and carbonate (CO₃^2-), which can have either natural or chemical ingredients. Several studies show that the production of bioceramics apatite can use natural sources of calcium, such as corals, sea shells, eggshells,²⁰ crab shells,²¹ snail shells,²² and green mussel shells.^7,23 In this study, the n-CHAp was synthesized using abalone shells as the natural ingredient and source of calcium because of the higher content of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in abalone shells, which was 90–95%²⁴ and is easily found in Indonesia.^3,25

This work explores the potency of abalone shells (Halioitis asinina) from Indonesia as the natural source of calcium in n-CHAp synthesis. In this study, n-CHAp is synthesized via the precipitation method with aging time variations at 0, 24, and 48 h.²⁶ This method was selected based on certain considerations, including the majority of n-CHAp synthesis approaches do not require any organic solvent. This is also a simple process with high throughput (87%), making the method suitable for large-scale. The characteristics of this n-CHAp are observed, including its effect on nanostructure, crystallographic properties, the mole ratio of Ca/P, and its functional groups.

Materials and methods

The fabrication is divided into two main stages: preparation of calcium oxide (CaO) from abalone shells waste and synthesis of nano-CHAp. The schematic methods for this study are shown in Figure 1(a).

Materials

The abalone mussel shells used as a source of CaCO₃ were taken from Bali, Indonesia. The precursors of diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)₂ HPO₄), ammonium bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃), and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) 25% solution were purchased from Merck (USA).

Preparation of CaO

Preparation of CaO was adopted based on the previous research.²⁶ It began with washing the abalone shells with water and continued with the removal of water content using an oven at 100°C for 4 h, followed by the milling process to obtain abalone CaCO₃ powder. Then CaCO₃ was decomposed into CaO through the calcination process. The furnace was used at a temperature of 1000°C for 4 h and sieved using the 170 mesh sieve to obtain CaO powder with a smaller grain size.

Synthesis of the n-CHAp

Based on the previous research,²⁶ this step began with the imposition of carbonate solutions from 5.1192 g of NH₄HCO₃ and 50 mL of distilled water into phosphate solutions from 8.5536 g (NH₄)₂HPO₄ and 70 mL of distilled water in alkaline conditions (addition of 15 mL NH₄OH) to run out until the carbonate solution formed a carbonate–phosphate solution. This was followed by a carbonate–phosphate solution being dropped into the calcium solution made from 6.048 g of CaO and 60 mL of distilled water with a penetrating speed of 1 mL/minute until it ran out while kept under agitation with the hotplate stirrer with a stirring speed of 350 rpm. The synthesized solution was stirred for 1 h with a temperature control of 60°C, and then the solution continued to settle with time variations, namely, 0, 24, and 48 h. The resulting solution was filtered at room temperature for 24 h, washed using a centrifuge for 20 min at 4000 rpm, dried at 90°C for 24 h, and sintered at 650°C for 2 h.

Characterization of the n-CHAp

The n-CHAp sample of the synthesized product was characterized using XRD Panalytical XRD Type Pro to identify the crystalline phase and to analyze the crystallographic properties of the sample, such as lattice parameters, crystallite size, and degree of crystallinity. The formula to determine the lattice parameters of a-axis and c-axis can be shown in equation (1)²⁷

\frac{1}{d^{2}} = \frac{4}{3} (\frac{h^{2} + h k + k^{2}}{a^{2}}) + \frac{l^{2}}{c^{2}}

(1)where hkl is Miller index of the plane, d is the spacing between the atomic plane of the crystal lattice, and a and c are lattice parameters of the n-CHAp. The equation (2) used to calculate the crystallite size²⁸

t_{h k l} = \frac{k λ}{β cos θ}

(2)where t_hkl is the crystallite size,

λ

is the wavelength (1.54 Ǻ), k is Scherrer’s constant (0.94), β is the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the diffraction spectra, and θ is the diffraction angle. The equation (3) used to calculate the crystallinity degree²⁰

% X_{c} = (1 - \frac{I_{211 / 300}}{I_{300}}) x 100 %

(3)where X_c is the degree of crystallinity of the n-CHAp, I₃₀₀ is (300) the diffraction peak intensity, and I_211/300 is a hollow between (112) and (300) diffraction peak.

The characterization using TEM Jeol JEM 140 was used to determine the morphology, particle size distribution, polydispersity, and aspect ratio of the n-CHAp with all variations in aging time based on morphology data. Characterization using FTIR Thermo Nicolet iS10 was used to identify the functional groups characteristic of the n-CHAp, namely, PO₄^3-, CO₃^2-, and OH^-, and the percentage of mineral components of the samples was characterized using EDX JSM-6510LA.

Results and discussion

Crystallographic analysis

The crystallographic properties of n-CHAp powders were determined by XRD. This analysis was used by matching it with JCPDS No. 09-0432 with a range of 20°–60° and analyzing the crystallographic properties of the n-CHAp through the calculation of lattice parameters, crystallinity degree, and crystallite size. Figure1(b) shows the diffraction pattern resulting from the characterization using the XRD of the n-CHAp samples synthesized with aging time variations.

Based on the result of XRD analysis, the main diffraction peak was formed at the position of the diffraction angle 31.93°, 32.98°, and 34.08° with the diffraction plane (211), (300), and (202), such as the result conducted by previous research²⁸ JCPDS No. 09-0432 reveals the HAp phase has a main diffraction peak at the position of diffraction angle 31.78°, 32.90°, and 34.09°, so there is a shift in the position of the main diffraction angles from the sample to the value of the greater diffraction angle. The shift in the position of the diffraction angle in the diffraction plane—(211), (300), and (202)—toward the greater diffraction angle value is due to the substitution of carbonate ions in the HAp lattice structure, which causes the cell contraction of the apatite unit on the a-axis.²⁹ Regarding the shift in the position of the diffraction angle, the diffraction plane (002) is formed at the diffraction angle 25.870° for all samples. When examining the JCPDS of HAp, the diffraction plane (002) is formed at the diffraction angle 25.87°. Therefore, it can be said that there is a shift in the diffraction angle of the diffraction plane (002) toward the smaller diffraction angle value, which indicates the substitution of carbonate ions in the HAp lattice structure in the form of apatite unit cell expansion along the c-axis. The contraction of the a-axis and expansion of the c-axis in the lattice structure of HAp are characteristic of B-type carbonate ion substitution, thus forming B-type CHAp.^26,29

The HAp lattice parameter is a = b = 9.43 Ǻ and c = 6.88 Ǻ, which has a hexagonal crystal structure.³⁰ Based on the data of Table 1 and the lattice parameter values, if compared with HAp lattice parameter values, it can be seen that the a lattice is decreased and the c lattice is increased due to the substitution of carbonate ions with a smaller atomic size than phosphate.³¹ This indicates that the sample is B-type CHAp. Regarding the effect of aging time variation on the lattice parameter values in the sample, it appears that it does not contribute to the significant change in lattice parameter values, because the aging process is not given the temperature treatment that results in changes in the crystalline structure of the sample. For the crystallinity degree, the longer the aging time caused the higher the crystallinity and the larger the crystallite size,²⁶ that supports the TEM data. This is related to crystal growth, which has implications for the regularity of atoms in crystals.³²

Nanostructures and functional group of n-CHAp analysis

The particle size distribution, polydispersity, and aspect ratio of the n-CHAp with all variations in aging time based on morphology data from TEM results were calculated based on the measurements of 30 randomly selected particles using ImageJ software. As shown in Figure 2(a)–(c), it can be seen that the shape of the sample grains was almost the same, namely, an irregular circle.^33,34 The whole CHAp looked irregular.³⁵

The morphology results are supported by the analysis of the particle size and polydispersity using ImageJ software, as shown in Table 2 and Figure 3. Based on these data, the nanometer-sized B-type CHAp particles were successfully obtained. The longer the aging time, the more the particle size effect is increased. This is related to the crystallite size data in XRD analysis, according to which the longer aging time caused increased crystallite size, which indicates the increase in the particle size of the sample. The changes in particle size are related to changes in apatite concentration due to crystallization during the aging process.³⁶ The longer of the aging time between three and 48 h caused the increasing of particle size, which results in a small specific surface area with a strong agglomeration rate.³⁶ All data pertaining to particle size show a more normal distribution. This is supported by the polydispersity data where the treatment of aging time caused the polydispersity tend to increase, as shown in Table 2. Polydispersity was found to be related to the diversity of the same sample size when analyzing the particle size distribution data.

The length and width of 30 particles were measured to obtain an average value, and this was then computed to obtain the ratio of length to width (aspect ratio). As shown in Table 2, the aspect ratio tended to decrease due to the increased aging time in the n-CHAp. It has been suggested that the decrease in the aspect ratio was caused by the higher substitution of carbonate into the phosphate site in the cell lattice (B-type CHAp).³⁴

FTIR analysis is used to identify characteristic n-CHAp function groups, namely, PO₄³, CO₃^2-, and OH^-. Figure 1(d) shows the absorption band pattern resulting from the characterization using FTIR for the n-CHAp samples synthesized with aging time variations. From these data, it can be seen that all characteristic functional groups of the n-CHAp have been formed for all variations of aging time, such as the result conducted by previous research.²⁶ In this study, the spectrum of PO₄^3- functional groups showed the increasing sharp as the aging time proceeds. This result caused the presence of increasing phosphate ions with the implication of the increasing crystallinity degree. The hydroxyl and phosphate functional groups can be characteristics of HAp crystallinity, where by both hydroxyl and phosphate spectra get sharper with the variations carried out; it can be said that the samples are increased crystalline.¹⁹ In the spectrum of characterization, the CO₃^2- functional group is also identified, which indicates that the carbonate ion has been substituted into the HAp lattice structure, that supports the EDX data. The CO₃^2- function group is formed at 1438 cm⁻¹ and 878 cm⁻¹, which is the characteristic of B-type carbonates.²⁹

Element’s composition in the n-CHAp Analysis

Table 3 shows that the extension of aging time causes an increase in the composition of calcium (Ca²⁺) and phosphate (PO₄^3-). Due to the increasing presence of phosphate elements, carbonates replace phosphates in the sample so that the smaller Ca/P mole ratio with the value (1.80–1.72) exceeds the Ca/P HAp mole ratio (1.67). The mole ratio of Ca/P atoms is nothing but the ratio of ions Ca²⁺/PO₄^3- that formed n-CHAp. In this study, the Ca/P molar ratio of n-CHAp with aging time of 48 h was 1.72, which was close to that of natural bone at 1.71.^25,37 Related to the composition of carbonate elements in the sample, the composition of carbonate ions in natural bones ranged from 2 to 8 wt.% depending on age.³⁸ Based on the data, the composition of the carbonate ion elements in all variations of aging time has met the target of carbonate ions in natural bone. In other words, the n-CHAp sample that produced by synthesis has a constituent element that is close to human natural bone, so that the presence of the n-CHAp as a bioceramics material in natural bone can play an important role in the regeneration of fractured natural bone tissue.³⁹

Conclusion

The characteristics of the n-CHAp samples are influenced by the varied aging time. Based on the data analysis, the formation of the XRD spectrum shows the characteristic of the n-CHAp, with the shift in the HAp diffraction angle due to the substitution of carbonate ions for all samples with variations in aging time. The calculation of lattice parameter values and identification of functional groups demonstrate the characteristic of B-type CHAp, with the increased crystallite size and crystallinity degree. Seeing whether the FTIR spectrum is formed sharply, the longer the aging time occurs in the phosphate uptake group, the mole ratio of Ca/P decreases with morphological changes due to agglomeration. These data indicate that grain size increases. Based on these characteristics, all B-type CHAp samples based on abalone shells (Halioitis asinina) are one of the candidates in bioceramics for bone tissue engineering applications. More specifically, aging time of 48 h is the optimum aging time of n-CHAp for bone tissue engineering applications based on the highest crystallite size, crystallinity degree, particle size, and polydispersity compared to other n-CHAp samples. The Ca/P molar ratio of n-CHAp with aging time of 48 h was 1.72, which was close to that of natural bone at 1.71.
