Abstract:
Synthetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles that contain ammonium chloride crystals are obtained. The X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and BET methods show that ammonium chloride crystals are decomposed in argon in the temperature range of $T$ = 220–270$^\circ$C. The heat treatment at $T$ = 300$^\circ$C gives thermal stability to the nanoparticles. The presence of ammonium chloride in the culture medium has a substantial effect on the biocompatibility of nanoparticles. An increase in its content reduces the proliferative activity of mesenchymal stromal cells.
