The biomimetic synthesis and phase transformation of XRD amorphous calcium phosphate were studied by application of kinetic, chemical and spectral (XRD and IR) methods and thermodynamic simulations. Two SBFs (SBFc and SBFr), differing in their HCO(3)(-) and Cl(-) ion contents, were used in the maturation studies. It has been proven that the biomimetic maturation accelerated the phase transformation of less thermodynamically stable amorphous calcium phosphate to poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite. Several regularities have been found: (i) kinetic reasons determined the biomimetic precipitation of XRD-amorphous calcium deficient phosphate (ACP); (ii) the precipitated ACP always contained impurities due to co-precipitation, ion substitution and incorporation phenomena; (iii) the increased content of HCO(3)(-) ions in the surrounding microenvironments increased the rate of phase transformation and the concentration of MeHCO(3)(+) (Me = Ca, Mg) species in the solution, but the solubility of CaCO(3) has only been decreased and its precipitation accelerated, thus playing a crucial role in the process under study.

Inspired by the initial mineralization process with bone matrix vesicles (MVs), this study innovatively developed a delivery system to mediate mineralization during bone regeneration. The system comprises nanofibrous chitosan microspheres (NCM) and poly (allylamine hydrochloride)-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PAH-ACP), which is thereafter referred to as NCMP. NCM is synthesized through the thermal induction of chitosan molecular chains, serving as the carrier, while PAH-ACP functions as the mineralization precursor.

Scaffolds for regenerative therapy can be made from natural or synthetic polymers, each offering distinct benefits. Natural biopolymers like chitosan (CS) are biocompatible and biodegradable, supporting cell interactions, but lack mechanical strength. Synthetic polymers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) provide superior mechanical strength and cost efficiency but are not biodegradable or supportive of cell adhesion.

For the exploration and development of oil and gas reservoirs in shallow, cold regions and deep oceans, oil well cement (OWC) pastes face the challenge of slow cement hydration reactions and the low early-strength development of cement stone at low temperatures, which can cause the risk of fluid channeling and the defective isolation of the sealing section during the cementing construction process. To address the above challenges, a nanoscale hydrated calcium silicate (C-S-H) crystal nucleus, DRA-1L, was synthesized. Its application performance and action mechanism were studied.

Joining heterogeneous materials in engineered structures remains a significant challenge due to stress concentration at interfaces, which often leads to unexpected failures. Investigating the complex, multiscale-graded structures found in animal tissue provides valuable insights that can help address this challenge. The human meniscus root-bone interface is an exemplary model, renowned for its exceptional fatigue resistance, toughness, and interfacial adhesion properties throughout its lifespan.
