The scaffolds composed of monolithic ƒÀ-TCP and ƒÀ-TCP/ƒ¿-TCP composites were fabricated by a low-loaded environmental processing. The pore introduction was attempted using starch, instead of polymer beads. The aqueous slurry of the mixture of ƒÀ-TCP and starch was prepared for an aqueous slip-casting. Problem on the heterogeneity distribution of the starch in aqueous slip-casting was solved by...

The purpose of this study is to synthesize nano-grained Calcium Hydroxyapatite (HAp) through slip casting technique. For this, hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized using two methods, wet chemical method and Ammoniacal method. The as-prepared powders and calcined powders were characterized using XRD, FTIR, to study the phases of the powders. The hydroxyapatite powder calcined at 1000°C for 2h...

An improved process for slip casting ceramic articles that does not employ parting agents and affords the casting of complete, detailed, precision articles that do not possess parting lines. A wax pattern for a shell mold is provided, and an aqueous mixture of a calcium sulfate-bonded investment material is applied as a coating to the wax pattern. The coated wax pattern is then dried, followed ...
