Abstract

The biomimetic in vitro formation of the calcium phosphate layers was evaluated after exposure of polysaccharide templates to simulated body fluid (SBF). It was shown that the thin template layers with total thickness of 10-100nm of chemically modified cellulose were prepared using Langmuir-Blodgett-technique. With respect to the local pH which governs the degree of supersaturation and the polarity of the template surface groups, the mechanisms of apatite deposition were analyzed. It was observed that the orientation analysis indicated the c-axis lying parallel to the surface and the prismatic directions as the dominating growth directions on silylated cellulose template.
