Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical characterization of silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite.
TL;DR: Chemical analysis confirmed the proposed substitution of the silicon (or silicate) ion for the phosphorus (or phosphate) ion in hydroxyapatite and demonstrated that phase-pure silicon-substituted hydroxyAPatite may be prepared using a simple precipitation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study on the in vivo behavior of hydroxyapatite and silicon substituted hydroxyapatite granules
Nelesh Patel,Serena M. Best,William Bonfield,Iain R. Gibson,Karin A. Hing,Elsie Damien,Paula A. Revell +6 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the early in vivo bioactivity of hydroxyapatite was significantly improved with the incorporation of silicate ions into the HA structure, making SiHA an attractive alternative to conventional HA materials for use as bone substitute ceramics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel synthesis and characterization of an AB‐type carbonate‐substituted hydroxyapatite
Iain R. Gibson,William Bonfield +1 more
TL;DR: A novel synthesis route has been developed to produce a high-purity mixed AB-type carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (CHA) with a carbonate content that is comparable to the type and level observed in bone mineral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of porosity reduction by compaction on compressive strength and microstructure of calcium phosphate cement.
TL;DR: This study investigates whether compaction significantly alters the specific surface area and pore-size distribution of CPC prepared according to the method of Brown and Chow, which resulted in an increase in the wet compressive strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of macroporous calcium phosphate cement tissue engineering scaffold.
TL;DR: This study reports a novel method for the formation of macroporous CPC scaffolds, which has two main advantages over the previously reported manufacturing route: the cement matrix is considerably denser than CPC formed from slurry systems and the scaffold is formed at temperatures below room temperature.
