为了研究羟基磷灰石(HA)纳米微粒对不同种类低温保护剂(质量浓度为60%的渗透性丙三醇和质量浓度为50%的非渗透性PEG-600)反玻璃化结晶的影响,利用低温显微镜研究了含有不同粒径(20nm、40nm、60nm)和不同质量浓度(0.1%、0.5%)HA纳米微粒的丙三醇和PEG-600溶液在反玻璃化过程中的结晶现象。实验结果表明:丙三醇和PEG-600溶液在反玻璃化过程中的冰晶形貌分别为枝状和球形,且形貌都不随添加纳米微粒而改变。与未添加纳米微粒的丙三醇溶液相比,添加60nm、0.5%纳米微粒溶液的析晶分数仅为未添加溶液的1/7。PEG-600溶液在-64℃~-52℃区间内的析晶分数显著增加,其中添加40nm、0.5%纳米微粒的PEG-600溶液的析晶分数增加了90%。冰晶的生长速率存在两个极大值现象,而添加40nm、0.5%纳米微粒的丙三醇溶液、未添加和添加60nm纳米微粒的PEG-600溶液的冰晶生长速率都只有一个极大值。
To study the effects of Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles on devitrification of different cryoprotectant solutions, the crystalli- zation of Glycerol( mass concentration is 60% ) and PEG-600( mass concentration is 50% ) solutions with HA nanoparticles of different particle size(20nm,40nm ,60nm)and concentrations(0.1% ,0.5% )were observed under a cryomicroscope. Experimental resuhs showed that the morphology of Glycerol and PEG-600 solutions is dendritic and spheric respectively, and both structures are not changed by adding nanopartieles. The ice fraction of Glycerol solution containing 0.5% HA with the particle size of 60nm is 1/7 of that of Glycerol solution without nanoparticles. The ice fraction of PEG-600 solution increased drastically between - 64℃ and - 52℃, and the ice fraction of PEG-600 solution containing 0.5% HA with the particle size of 40nm increased by 90%. Ice growth rate has two maximum normally, however, there is only one maximum in Glycerol solution containing 0.5% HA with the particle size of 40nm, PEG-600 solution with the particle size of 60nrn, and PEG-600 solution without nanoparticles.
