A perfect control on the final ceramic features will enable the research/clinical community to
spread the use of calcium phosphate ceramic bodies to a large number of applications …

The fabrication and mechanical properties of the porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) bioceramic
developed in this laboratory together with those related calcium phosphate materials are …

This study highlights the effects of sintering temperature on the microstructures,
densification, grain sizes/boundaries, calcium/phosphorus (Ca/P) ion ratios, mechanical and …

Some physics during heating and sintering of powder pressings of hydroxyapatite (HA)
under conventional (usual) conditions have been studied. It is revealed that heating and …

Among the many different kinds of hydroxyapatite (HAp) implantation materials, porous
forms of HAp are especially interesting. Their strength is lower than that of dense bodies, but …

Porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics were fabricated using poly vinyl butyral (PVB) as a
porosifier. The effects of preparation conditions involving PVB particle size, sintering time …

Calcium phosphate ceramics are biocompatible and may develop interactions with human
living bone tissues. They are used clinically on the surface of orthopaedic implants to …

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 …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2) ceramic sheets with a wide range of
porosities (up to 62%) have been prepared. The process is based on the reaction between …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic is a widely used material for bone graft substitutes primarily
because of its close composition to human bone and its high biocompatibility with …
