Powder Mixture for the Production of Microporous Ceramics Based on Hydroxyapatite

Powder mixtures with a given molar ratio of Ca/P = 1.67 were prepared under mechanical activation conditions from hydroxyapatite powder Ca<sub>10</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub> and a 1M aqueous solution of oxalic acid H<sub>2&l...

description Powder mixtures with a given molar ratio of Ca/P = 1.67 were prepared under mechanical activation conditions from hydroxyapatite powder Ca<sub>10</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub> and a 1M aqueous solution of oxalic acid H<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> at a molar ratio of Ca<sub>10</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> = 1:4. The phase composition of obtained powder mixture included brushite (calcium hydrophosphate dihydrate) CaHPO<sub>4</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O, calcium oxalate monohydrate CaC<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O in form of whewellite and weddellite, and some quantity of quasi-amorphous phase. This powder mixture was used to produce microporous monophase ceramics based on hydroxyapatite Ca<sub>10</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub> with apparent density of 1.25 g/cm<sup>3</sup> after firing at 1200 °C. Microporosity of sintered ceramics was formed due to the presence of particles with plate-like morphology, restraining shrinkage during sintering. Microporous ceramics based on hydroxyapatite Ca<sub>10</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub> with the roughness of the surface as a consequence of the created microporosity can be recommended as a biocompatible material for bone defects treatment and as a substrate for bone cell cultivation.
