Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is extensively used in medical applications as an artificial bone because of its similarity to the natural components of human bones and for its excellent biocompatibility. The porous structure of HA ceramics is more generally used as a scaffold. Many techniques, which are performed under fluid system, have been applied to fabricate HA porous scaffolds. In this work, polymeric sponge technique was employed in the preparation of HA slurry appropriated for porous ceramic fabrication. Effort for strength improvement was made on porous HA ceramic in several aspects. The effect of HA/water, binder/plasticizer ratios and dispersant content on the rheological properties of HA suspension in combination with the addition of SiC and SiO2 on the compressive strength of porous bodies were investigated and discussed.
