dc.description.abstractBiomimetic growth of calcium phosphate compound on cotton sheets treated with tetraethoxy silane and soaked in simulated body fluid solution was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Micro-FTIR and EDAX results show that silicon was coupled to the cotton fiber when cotton was treated with tetra-ethoxy silane (TEOS) at 125 degrees C for 1 h. Calcium phosphate nucleation started to occur on the surface of TEOS-treated cotton fibers upon immersion in 1.5 x SBF (simulated body fluid solution) within 3 days and after 20 days, all the fiber surfaces were found covered with a thick and porous coating of calcium phosphate. The Ca and P determined by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) analysis revealed that the Ca/P ratio as well as the amount of calcium phosphate coating depends on the soaking time in SBF solution.
