Processo de preparação de vidros pela reação de coacervação de polifosfato em solução aquosa, em temperatura ambiente

Abstract

The process of coacervation is through interaction between solutions of sodium polyphosphate (Graham's salt), (NaPO3)n and salts of different metals as: Na+, Ca2 +, Ni2 +, Co2+, Mn2+ among others. For the process of coacervation occurs in sometimes it is necessary the addition of organic solvents as methanol or ethanol, because these solvents reduce the dielectric constant of the solution leading to the formation of vesicles in aqueous solution. Use of coacervates for the production of glass by drying the coacervate (production of glass at room temperature) and then cooling the merger was explored. Structural and spectroscopic studies of the coacervates of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) were carried out by spectroscopic techniques of X-ray absorption in the region of the EXAFS and Raman spectroscopy providing important information on the first and second coordination spheres of metal ions, and the eminence given to the role played by them in the process of coacervation. In the production process of coacervates highlight the route of preparation by direct addition of methanol to the concentrated solution of (NaPO3)n. The materials obtained by different routes coacervation allowed us to obtain glassy materials with interesting features, according to the results of measurements of thermal analysis performed in these different materials. The melting process-cooling coacervates of calcium and sodium have also led to the formation of glasses with interesting thermal features. In addition special attention was given to the question of the coacervates compatibility of calcium and possible use as host matrices of drugs in the process of controlled release of drugs in humans. For this reason, vitamin C was incorporated into the coacervate of calcium in order to verify such aptitude pharmacology since these systems are prepared at room temperature under conditions favorable for the incorporation of different organic and inorganic substances in the structure of the material.
