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 …

Porous hydroxyapatite HA bodies were prepared with an aim to simulate bone tissue
morphology. By varying the characteristics of starting HA powders and the impregnation …

A variety of processing methods has been developed and optimized to generate porous bio-
ceramic structures close to that of the natural bone. Two different ceramic processing …

Hydroxyapatite, often in the form of synthetic porous blocks, has been used in the repair of
bone defects for over 20 years owing to its biocompatibility and osseoconductive behaviour …

Trabecular bones of almost all vertebrate organisms basically consist of macroporous (55–
70% interconnected porosity) bone mineral, ie calcium hydroxyapatite (HA: Ca10 (PO4) 6 …

The development of the new technologies of bone tissue engineering requires the
production of bioresorbable macroporous scaffolds. Calcium phosphate cements are good …

An approach to the preparation of customized hydroxyapatite scaffolds for bone
regeneration based on subtractive manufacturing has been developed. The developed …

Calcium phosphate ceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA) have been widely used to repair
and reconstruct damaged parts of the human skeleton. This material is currently available as …

In this work, the sintering and grain growth of hydroxyapatite green bodies are analyzed in
order to identify the optimum heat treatments for the preparation of porous hydroxyapatite …

Bone tissue engineering requires appropriate scaffold materials with a highinterconnected
macroporosity. In this work a novel two-step method, based in the foaming of a calcium …
