Reaction Sintering and Mechanical Properties of Hydroxyapatite–Zirconia Composites with Calcium Fluoride Additions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of calcium fluoride (CaF2) additions on the densification and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite–zirconia composites (HA–ZrO2) were investigated. When small amount of CaF2 was added, the density of the composites was markedly enhanced. The reactions of HA with CaF2, which led to the formation of fluorapatite (FA), were attributed to the observed improvements in densification. When HA–20-vol%-ZrO2 composites were sintered, with the addition of 5 vol% of CaF2, in air at 1300°C, the density of the specimen approached 98% of the theoretical value. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites were also improved, as a result of the enhanced densification.

Fabrication and characterisation of a calcium phosphate/zirconia composite
The aim of this study is to fabricate high strength calcium phosphate/ yttrium artially stabilised zirconia (Y-PSZ) composites using a simple powder pressing technique. Various compositions of hydroxyapatite and zirconia powder, ranging from 10 to 90 wt% Y-PSZ, were prepared using a wet mixing process. Ten compacts (13.5mm×3mm) were made for each composition, pressed and fired in air at sinte...

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) (HAp) is a very attractive material for human tissue implantation, beacuse it makes up ~69% of the weight of bone [1]. Unfortunately HAp posses low mechanical properties (strength, fracture toughness), which is a barrier to its applications in load-bearing situations [2]. The mechanical properties of HAp composites, is based on the synthesis of composites and th...
