In vitrobiomineralization ofglutaraldehyde crosslinked chitosan/glutamicacid films were studied. IR and ESCA (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis) determinations confirm that chitosan and glutamic acid are successfully crosslinked by glutaraldehyde to form chitosan-glutamic acid surfaces. Composite films were soaked in saturated Ca(OH)2 solution for 8 d and then immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for more than 20 d. Morphological characterizations and structure of cal-cium phosphate coatings deposited on the films were studied by SEM, XRD, and EDAX (energy dispersive X-ray analysis). Initially, the treatment in SBF results in the formation of single-layer cal-cium phosphate particles over the film surface. As immersion time increases, further nucleation and growth produce the simulated calcium-carbonate hydroxyapatite coating. ICP results show Ca/P ratio of calcium phosphate coating is a function of SBF immersion time. The inducing of glutamic acid improves the biomineralization property of chitosan films.
