Infrared synchrotron nanovisualization of a biomimetic layer composed of trimethyldihydroquinoline and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite

Keywords: Trimethyl-dihydroquinoline, Biomimetic layer, Dental enamel, Near-field infrared spectroscopy, Synchrotron radiation

Abstract

Objective of the article: This study presents the findings of research on a biomimetic organomineral layer composed of trimethyldihydroquinoline, which was polymerized in the presence of nanocrystalline carbonate-substituted non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (n-cHAp).

Experimental part: The morphological features of the biomimetic layer were visualized using synchrotron infrared near-field spectroscopy.

Conclusions: It has been demonstrated that the biomimetic layer formed on the surface of dental enamel exhibits a morphological structure characterized by a uniformly distributed and densely packed composite film of poly(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline-6,7-diol) and n-cHAp. The resulting dental coating, which is based on polydihydroquinoline and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite, possesses a Vickers hardness coefficient comparable to that of healthy enamel
