Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomimetic composite materials technology, and in particular to a powder, bulk, and preparation method of Escherichia coli-coated calcium carbonate composite material. Background Technology
[0002] With historical development and technological progress, the requirements for structural materials in various engineering fields have become increasingly stringent, such as low density, high strength, high hardness, and toughness. However, among these properties, strength and toughness are often mutually exclusive. Ceramic materials, the most representative example, are widely used in engineering structural materials, but their high density and low toughness are significant limitations. Therefore, lightweight natural biomaterials have attracted widespread attention from researchers, especially biomaterials such as bones, teeth, and shells. Although composed of brittle minerals and organic polymers or nanoparticles, these materials possess high strength and toughness. However, most of the novel shell-like reinforced materials currently prepared are small in size, making industrial production difficult, and most biomimetic structural materials still do not satisfactorily achieve a variety of superior properties. Therefore, inspired by the growth process of heterogeneous structures in biomaterials, there is a desire to prepare biomimetic composite materials with large size and synergistically enhanced mechanical and functional properties.
[0003] In biomineral materials, the inorganic mineral component mainly consists of crystals formed from common compounds such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and silicon dioxide. Calcium carbonate includes three crystal forms, with aragonite being the least stable. However, the microstructure of aragonite, consisting of spherical particles clustered together at approximately 50 nm, is advantageous for subsequent bulk preparation studies. However, current domestic research, without additives to inhibit crystal transformation, shows that pure aragonite particles prepared via co-precipitation react with low concentrations (10-20 mM) of calcium and carbonate ions, hindering large-scale preparation of aragonite powder. Calcium carbonate prepared using high concentrations (≥50 mM) of calcium ions and carbonate typically exhibits both aragonite and calcite crystal forms, resulting in lower purity.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing preparation methods to achieve large-scale preparation of pure spherical aragonite-type calcium carbonate and obtain heterogeneous composite materials with macroscopic geometry that synergistically achieve high strength and high toughness. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose an Escherichia coli-coated calcium carbonate composite material powder, bulk material and its preparation method, which solves the technical problems that the pure spheroidal aragonite type calcium carbonate powder often cannot be prepared on a large scale due to the low concentration, and that existing biomimetic structural materials cannot achieve a synergistic improvement in large size, high strength and high toughness.

[0009] An aqueous solution containing carbonate ions was added dropwise to the suspension. After the addition was complete, the mixture was centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain E. coli-coated calcium carbonate composite material powder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:
[0015] This invention effectively blocks the crystal transformation by utilizing the strong interaction between naturally occurring GFP-expressing *E. coli* and calcium ions. Following carbonate titration, rapid centrifugation and washing successfully prepares stable and uniform spherulite powder.

The solution was stirred at 350 rpm for 15 min and then poured into 300mL, 300mL, 300mL, and 100mL conical flasks, respectively. The solution was then sterilized to obtain sterile LB solution. After the sterile LB solution cooled, 100mL of the sterile LB solution was poured into three 15mL centrifuge tubes (5-6mL capacity). A small amount of E. coli / GFP bacteria and 5μL of kana antibiotic (50μg / mL concentration) were added to each of the three centrifuge tubes. The mixture was then reacted on a shaker for 12 h (shaker speed 220rpm, temperature 37℃). The mixture was then poured into the three conical flasks and 100μL of kana antibiotic was added to each flask.

Then, 300 μL of IPTG antibiotic (0.5 mM) was added, and the mixture was reacted on a shaker for another 3 hours. The bacteria were then collected by centrifugation.

[0105] SEM tests were performed on the CaCO3@E. coli composite material blocks prepared in Examples 1 and 5-9 above. The test results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 5 .
[0106] The flexural strength of the CaCO3@E. coli composite material blocks prepared in Examples 1 and 5-9 above, as well as the pure calcium carbonate material block prepared in Comparative Example 3, was tested. The test results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 6 .
[0107] Fracture toughness tests (single-sided notched beam) were performed on the CaCO3@E. coli composite material block prepared in Example 6 and the pure calcium carbonate material block prepared in Comparative Example 3. The test results are shown in […]. Figure 7 .
[0108] Please see Figure 1 ,pass Figure 1 It can be seen that Examples 1-4 of the present invention can all achieve the successful preparation of pure spheroidal aragonite particles, indicating that when the solution volume is 50 mL, the method of the present invention (centrifugation directly after titration) can obtain stable pure spheroidal aragonite crystals in the range of calcium ion and carbonate concentrations of 10-50 mM. Furthermore, no crystal transformation occurred when the solution volume was doubled, indicating that the process of the present invention is stable and suitable for large-scale production.
[0109] Please see Figure 2 ,pass Figure 2 It can be seen that after complete titration, continuing to stir for 12 hours will cause some crystals to transform into calcite. This also shows that the process parameters of the present invention can prepare pure spheroidal calcium carbonate with stable crystal form and in a shorter time.
[0110] Please see Figures 3-4 ,pass Figures 3-4 It can be seen that temperature and pressure both affect the crystal transformation of aragonite, but the degree of crystal transformation is greatly reduced under the influence of E. coli / GFP.
[0111] Please see Figure 5 ,pass Figure 5 It can be seen that at a heating temperature of 37℃, rod-shaped pores left by E. coli still exist. However, as the heating temperature increases, the block becomes denser, and the remaining pores deform and disappear.
[0112] Please see Figure 6 ,pass Figure 6It can be seen that the block prepared by the method of the present invention at a heating temperature of 100℃ has the highest bending strength, and the CaCO3@E. coli composite block of the present invention has a higher bending strength than the pure calcium carbonate material block, indicating that the addition of E. coli / GFP leads to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the composite material.
[0113] Please see Figure 7 ,pass Figure 7 It can be seen that with the incorporation of E. coli / GFP, the interfacial interaction between E. coli and CaCO3 leads to crack deflection, which significantly improves its toughness.
[0114] In summary, this invention effectively blocks calcite formation through the strong interaction between E. coli / GFP and CaCO3, and inhibits calcite formation by rapid centrifugation and washing after titration, resulting in spherical aragonite powder composed of nanoparticles. The synthesis process uses only calcium source and carbonate ions, along with a sodium chloride solution to maintain neutrality; no other surfactants, directing agents, templates, or other organic substances are required, resulting in a high-purity product free of impurities. Furthermore, the absence of a stirring step after titration significantly shortens production time, reduces costs, and improves efficiency. This invention is simple to operate, low-cost, suitable for large-scale production, and has a wide range of applications, providing a new research approach for novel biomimetic materials.
