Assemblies of nanoparticles into transparent aggregates have solicited strong research interest in the form of both crystalline or amorphous aggregates of nanoparticles. In the present work, we make short-range ordered several millimeter-sized transparent aggregates of citrate modified calcium phosphate nanoparticles and discuss the mechanism of their formation. Microparticles of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanocrystals and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) were synthesized with citrate as a growth and assembly modifier. Millimeter-sized transparent aggregates of these microparticles were made with 0 to 7.5% citrate/Ca2+. The degree of crystallinity, i.e., the ratio between nanocrystalline HAP and ACP in the microparticles, was determined by Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data with an internal standard. It was found to decrease with increasing citrate concentration. Citrate also reduced the nanocrystallite size at low citrate concentrations. Above ∼3% added citrate, the crystallite size did not ...
