چکیده

The effect of -tricalcium phosphate additive on the alumina matrix was investigated. The sintering behaviour of the alumina tricalcium phosphate composites was characterized by using magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, dilatometry, differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The mechanical properties of composites have been investigated by the Brazilian test. The produced alumina tricalcium phosphate composites with different percentages of tricalcium phosphate (10 wt%; 20 wt%; 40 wt% and 50 wt%) exhibited much better mechanical properties than the reported values of βtricalcium phosphate without alumina. The alumina tricalcium phosphate composites showed a higher rupture strength at 1600°C, which certainly increased with the alumina content and reached the optimum value with 90 wt%. The best mechanical properties of the composites were obtained after the sintering process at 1600°C for 1 hour. With different weight rations of alumina: tricalcium phosphate (50:50, 60:40 and 80:20), the performance of the composites was hindered by the formation of both cracks and intragranular porosity.

Preparation and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite/Alumina Nanocomposites by High-Energy Vibratory Ball Milling

Hydroxyapatite/alpha-alumina composites were prepared by means of high-energy vibratory ball milling. The effect of the addition of alumina, from 5 to 25 wt%, was investigated. x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results indicated thathydroxyapatite andaluminawere themajorphases aftermechanicalmilling and only small peak shifts were observed. Transmission...

Bioceramics: From Concept to Clinic

Ceramics used for the repair and reconstruction of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo-skeletal system, termed bioceramics, may be bioinert (alumina, zirconia), resorbable (tricalcium phosphate), bioactive (hydroxyapatite, bioactive glasses, and glass-ceramics), or porous for tissue ingrowth (hydroxyapatite-coated metals, alumina). Applications include replacements for hips, knees, teeth, ...

Control of -Tricalcium Phosphate Formation in Macroporous Phosphate Glass-Ceramic Composites

A macroporous phosphate invert glass-ceramic (PIGC) was derived from the mother glass with a composition of 60CaO-30P2O5-3TiO27Na2O in mol%. The mother glass powders were coated on a polymer sponge skeleton and subsequently sintered at 850 C for 1 h through burning off the sponge, resulting in the preparation of macroporous PIGC. The resulting macroporous PIGC consists predominantly of tricalci...
