The formation of calcium fluoride microspheres via solubility equilibrium

• The focus of this study is on synthesis and mechanism of calcium fluoride (CaF2) spheres. Magnesium is the decisive factor in the formation of the spheres. The solubility product constant of Mg1-xCaxF2 is higher than those of CaF2 and MgF2. The structure of particles evolved to being spherical due to solubility equilibrium. The calcium fluoride spheres have great potential as dental materials in bleaching products.
