Effect of grain size on vickers microhardness and fracture toughness in calcium phosphate bioceramics

Grain size dependences of Vickers microhardness and indentation fracture toughness in fully dense hydroxyapatite bioceramics without additives were studied. The nanostructure and highly pure Hydroxyapatite powders produced by wet chemical precipitation method were used as starting material. After un...
