Abstract.

Porous CaCO3 particles, both micro and nano sized, were synthesized in a mixture of Ca(OH)2, hyaluronic acid (HA), glycine, NaOH and NaCl solution with supercritical carbon dioxide. The particles were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscope, Raman spectroscope (RS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) and scanning electron microscope techniques. All these techniques showed that the particles crystallize into only one CaCO3 structure, namely the vaterite phase. In addition, FTIR, RS and XPS indicated the presence of residual reactive species i.e. glycine, NaCl, and HA. The XRD results confirmed the presence of NaCl and \(\gamma\)-glycine, which is a crystalline material. Moreover, the HA seems to be mostly embedded in the bulk of the micro-particles. Such materials are promising for biomedical applications such as drug delivery.
