Abstract

Silica/monetite nanocomposites were synthesized through controlled hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20% mol/mol of calcium phosphate forming the solids named CaPSil1, CaPSil2, CaPSil3, and CaPSil4, respectively. XRD patterns showed formation of nanocomposites with a decrease in crystallinity. The NMR 29Si spectra suggested an increase in the content of incorporated silica with reduction of Q3 (–SiOH) signal, which contributes for mass loss, in agreement with thermogravimetry. The incorporation of silica increased the chemical stability of the precursor phosphate in an acidic medium.
