Characterization of a Zn-Ca<sub>5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>(OH) Composite with a High Content of the Hydroxyapatite Particles Prepared by the Spark Plasma Sintering Process

Zinc and zinc alloys have been studied due to their corrosion properties as potentially biodegradable materials. In this study, a zinc/hydroxyapatite composite (Zn/HA) containing 16 wt % HA was prepared by spark plasma sintering and characterized in detail. The microstructure, mechanical and corrosi...
