We have determined the biocompatibility of high porosity (92%) sintered hydroxyapatite
(HA) foams prepared using a novel ceramic foaming system. The ability of human osteoblast …

Machinable hydroxyapatite foams for subtractive manufacturing of customized bone
scaffolds have been developed. The foams were prepared by direct foaming of water‐based …

Porous scaffolds are considered a key strategy in the concept of bone tissue engineering.
Hydroxyapatite, which is a bioceramic has been used as a popular scaffold material due to …

The biocompatibility and the osteoconductive behavior of hydroxyapatite (OHAp) ceramics
are well established. Bioceramics made of OHAp are available in dense and porous form …

A novel forming process based on direct foaming of ceramic suspensions was set up and
optimized to produce highly porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds. A high-energy planetary …

Abstract Very high porosity (> 90%) reticulated hydroxyapatite foams were prepared using a
flexible, low silica polyurethane foaming system as the organic vehicle. The powder was …

In situ viscous mass foaming with ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) as foaming agent
was used for the preparation of porous hydroxyapatite ceramics. Three different particle …

Open‐cell hydroxyapatite (HA) foams, produced through the novel technique of gelcasting
foams with relative porosities ranging from 0.72 to 0.90, were characterized for pore‐size …

The porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics were prepared through combination of
sacrificial template and direct foaming techniques using PMMA granules (varied from 5 to 50 …

This study presents the manufacture of highly porous hydroxyapatite by a novel technique
that employs the foaming of suspensions prior to the in situ polymerization of organic …
