Porous spherical hydroxyapatite and fluorhydroxyapatite granules: processing and characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study is aimed at the development of a method to fabricate porous spherical hydroxyapatite (HA)—fluorapatite (FA) granules. The method to produce porous granules is based on liquid immiscibility effect. A suspension of HA–FA powder mixtures in aqueous solution of gelatin and oil as a dispersion media were used. By stirring the mixtures of these immiscible liquids, granules of 50–200 mm diameter can easily be produced. The granules were characterized with respect to their microstructure, phase composition and specific area. In vitro testing of human plasma protein adsorption onto the granules of HA and fluorhydroxyapatite were performed. No kind of difference in the dynamic protein adsorption between pure HA and the HA up to 10 wt% FA materials has been revealed. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Hydroxyapatite/silica Nanopowders Deposition on Ti Substrate by Plasma Spray Method
In this work, hydroxyapatite/silica nanopowders were granulated to fabricate plasma sprayable feedstocks. For this purpose, the wet powders obtained by heating a hydroxyapatite/silica slurry were stirred and sieved. To realize the feedstock application in the plasma spray process, powders were deposited on titanium substrate. The morphology of granulated feedstock and sprayed coating was ...

A versatile method for preparing spherical, micro- and macroporous (micro: 2-10 and macro: 150-550 microm pores), carbonated apatitic calcium phosphate (Ap-CaP) granules (2-4 mm in size) was developed by using NaCl crystals as the porogen. The entire granule production was performed between 21 and 37 degrees C. A CaP cement powder, comprising alpha-Ca3(PO4)2 (61 wt.%), CaHPO4 (26%), CaCO3 (10%)...

We here explore for the very first time how an advanced multiscale mathematical modeling approach may support the design of a provenly successful tissue engineering concept for mandibular bone. The latter employs double-porous, potentially cracked, single millimeter-sized granules packed into an overall conglomerate-type scaffold material, which is then gradually penetrated and partially replac...

CHARACTERIZATION OF MICRO/NANO POROUS HOLLOW GLASS MICROSPHERES FABRICATED THROUGH VARIOUS CHEMICAL ETCHING PROCESSE FOR USE IN SMART COATINGS
Porous hollow glass microspheres have many uses, including encapsulation of active materials. In this paper a fast and facile method for fabricating porous hollow glass-microspheres was demonstrated by etching them using dilute hydrofluoric acid. Then, a highly reactive amine was infiltrated into the etched glass microspheres. Scanning electron microscopy was conducted for the hollow glass micr...
