Evolution of the microstructural and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite bioceramics with varying sintering temperature
Ceramics International(2019)
摘要
This study highlights the effects of sintering temperature on the microstructures, densification, grain sizes/boundaries, calcium/phosphorus (Ca/P) ion ratios, mechanical and bioactive properties of biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics prepared via cold isostatic pressing. X-ray diffraction refinement analysis revealed that the phase ratios of hexagonal HA and secondary phases were sensitive to the sintering temperature. Grain sizes, densities, and shrinkages of the as-sintered HA ceramics increased with increasing sintering temperature. The Ca/P ratios of the as-sintered HA specimens ranged from 1.63 to 1.71 for sintering temperatures of 900–1300 °C. The maximum mechanical hardness was achieved in the specimen sintered at 1200 °C due to the dense matrix formed with a smaller grain size and fewer flawed grain boundaries, as determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Ion release analysis (in a simulated body fluid solution) indicated that phosphorus ions were absorbed and rapid deposition of calcium ions occurred after immersion periods of above 4 days.
