| Abstract: | The effect of sodium
fluoride addition on the crystallization of cholesterol has been studied. It
has an inhibitory effect, which not only reduce the growth rate and number of
crystals but also change the morphology of the cholesterol crystals. The
crystal structure, morphology and thermal properties have been analyzed using
powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and TG-DSC
studies. Functional groups and fluoride doping in the grown cholesterol
crystals have been confirmed from the vibrational frequencies of the recorded
FTIR spectrum. Results of this study shows that the increase of fluoride content
in the growth environment suppresses the formation of cholesterol. |
