Preparation and mechanical properties of calcium phosphate/copoly-L-lactide composites.
TL;DR: New artificial bone materials were prepared using calcium phosphates, hydroxyapatite and β-tricalicum phosphate, and copoly-L-lactide, CPLA, and scanning electron microscope observations indicated that the composites were homogeneously dispersed and highly adhesive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dense polycrystalline β-tricalcium phosphate for prosthetic applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive and flexural strength of polycrystalline tricalcium phosphate at a temperature of 1150°C for 1 h were found to be 459 and 138 MPa, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and Structure Refinement of Monoclinic Hydroxyapatite
TL;DR: In this paper, a monoclinic hydroxapatite was synthesized by a wet method followed by heating in air at 1473 K for 1 h. The product is carbonate-free and has a Ca/P ratio of 1.65, which is slightly lower than the theoretical value (1.67) of hydroxyapatites.
Patent
Transcutaneously implantable element
TL;DR: A transcutaneously implantable element in which at least a portion thereof in contact with the cutaneous tissue of a living body is composed of a ceramic material comprising, as the main raw material, at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, and tetracalcium phosphate.

TL;DR: In this paper, single crystals of carbonate-containing hydroxyapatite have been grown hydrothermally by gradually heating with a temperature gradient applied to the vessel, using CaHPO4, H2O and carbon dioxide as dry ice.
