Magnetic particles of iron oxide have been increasingly used in medical diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging and in cancer therapies involving targeted drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia. In this study we report the preparation and characterization of iron oxide particles coated with bioceramic hydroxyapatite by spray-drying. The iron oxide magnetic particles (IOMP) were coated with hydroxyapatite (HAp) by spray-drying using two IOMP/HAp ratios (0.7 and 3.2). The magnetic particles were characterized by way of scanning electronic microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, flame atomic absorption spectrometry, vibrating sample magnetometry and particle size distribution (laser diffraction). The surface morphology of the coated samples is different from that of the iron oxide due to formation of hydroxyapatite coating. From an EDX analysis, it was verified that the surface of the coated magnetic particles is composed only of HAp, while the interior contains iron oxide and a few layers of HAp as expected. The results showed that spray-drying technique is an efficient and relatively inexpensive method for forming spherical particles with a core/shell structure.
Hydroxyapatite samples were produced by two different wet‐chemical methods, and characterized by X‐ray diffraction, infrared (IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and compression strength measurements. The IR spectra showed the presence of CO32− ions in all samples. After the sintering, the CO32− bands almost disappeared, indicating a large release of CO32− ions by the samples, which were also confirmed by TGA. By mixing samples produced by both methods, a bioceramic was prepared and, after sintering at 900°C for 1 h, compressive strengths of 26–30 MPa were obtained.
Cerâmicas celulares são materiais frágeis de elevada porosidade, constituídas de um arranjo regular e tridimensional de células ocas. O grande interesse por essa classe de materiais está relacionado à suas propriedades específicas como baixas densidade e condutividade térmica e alta permeabilidade. Neste trabalho, foram preparadas espumas cerâmicas pelo método de réplica. Espumas comerciais de poliuretano com diferentes tamanhos de células foram utilizadas para a produção das espumas de microfibras naturais de sílica amorfa (MFSA). As espumas poliméricas foram imersas na suspensão (MFSA, bentonita, silicato de sódio e água), secas e tratadas termicamente. A eliminação da espuma polimérica ocorreu em 400°C e, em seguida, o corpo cerâmico foi sinterizado a 1150oC em um intervalo de tempo compreendidos entre 15 e 120 min. A influência das condições de sinterização na resistência mecânica das espumas cerâmicas foi investigada. A resistência à compressão das espumas de MFSA variou de 6 a 260 kPa.
RESUMOOs materiais de isolamento térmico convencionais, tais como a lã de vidro e o poliestireno extrudado, possuem importantes limitações técnicas. Os geopolímeros emergem como uma alternativa devido às suas excelentes propriedades. Neste trabalho, teve-se por objetivo descrever o desenvolvimento de geopolímeros de baixa condutividade térmica. Na produção dos geopolímeros utilizou-se metacaulim (Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2 ) que, devido à sua elevada reatividade, permite produzir polímeros inorgânicos, com propriedades físicas interessantes para aplicações em isolação térmica. Amostras de aluminossilicato foram ativadas com hidróxido de sódio (Na-OH) e silicato de sódio (Na 2 SiO 3 ). Amostras de geopolímeros leves foram produzidas com adição de diferentes percentagens de um formador de poros (0,5, 1, 2, 3, 4%). As amostras produzidas foram caracterizadas quanto à: resistência, compressão, absorção de água, condutividade térmica, densidade aparente e microestrutura.Palavras-chave: Isolamento térmico; Geopolímeros; Condutividade térmica. ABSTRACTConventional thermal insulation materials, such as glass wool and extruded polystyrene, owned-in significant technical limitations. The geopolymers emerge as an alternative due to their properties. In this sense the objective of this work is to describe the develop geopolymers with low thermal conductivity. Samples of geopolymers were produced from metakaolin (Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2 ) which, due to its high reactivity, made it possible to produce inorganic polymers with interesting physical properties, which can be used for thermal insulation. The samples of aluminosilicate were activated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na 2 SiO 3 ). Samples of light geopolymers were produced with addition of different percentages of a pore former (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4%). The samples were characterized with respect to: compressive strength, water absorption, thermal conductivity, density and microstructure.
