The effects of calcium-to-phosphorus ratio on the densification and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite ceramic

In this work, hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were synthesized using calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)(2) and orthophosphoric acid H3PO4 via wet chemical precipitation method in aqueous medium. Calcium-to-phosphorus (Ca/P) ratio was set to 1.57, 1.67, 1.87 that yield calcium-deficient HA, stoichiometric HA, and...
