Abstract: | Due to the considerable high bio-compatibility, calcium phosphate nanoparticles are widely used in biomedical applications. This study proposes a novel strategy for low-cost manufacturing calcium phosphate nanoporous spheres. The controlled reaction only took less than five minutes, when using Baltic seawater with the dissolved calcium concentration of 2.2?mM as the calcium resources. Porous nanospheres were obtained, with spheres ranging from 50 to 130?nm. The obtained nanospheres possess high drug-loading capacity and exhibit sustained release and pH-dependent properties. In addition, this method provides a general efficient strategy to synthesize other low-cost inorganic nanospheres from seawater. |
