Abstract
A number of composites based on titania and calcium phosphates, hydroxyapatite, bone ash or beta-tricalcium phosphate, were sintered by glass-encapsulated hot isostatic pressing at 925 degrees C. The mechanical properties of the titania and titania-calcium phosphate composites--three-point bending strength, fracture toughness and Young's modulus--were 250-450 MPa, 2.5-2.9 MPa m1/2 and 230-270 GPa, respectively. Hardness and density were also measured. The results suggest that these composites have potential applications in medicine as implant materials.Entities:
