Light scattering studies on solutions containing calcium phosphates

Abstract

A number of light scattering experiments was performed on calcium and phosphate containing solutions at pH 8.33 and 26°C. Supplementary information was obtained by means of dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The measurements prove that during the period in which amorphous calcium phosphate is present, coagulation is the dominant process that gives rise to the observed changes in the scattering intensity.
