In the last five decades, there have been vast advances in the field of biomaterials, including
ceramics, glasses, glass-ceramics and metal alloys. Dense and porous ceramics have been …

Various types of grafts have been traditionally used to restore damaged bones. In the late
1960s, a strong interest was raised in studying ceramics as potential bone grafts due to their …

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the emerging most bioceramic, which is widely used in various
biomedical applications, mainly in orthopedics and dentistry due to its close similarities with …

In the late 1960s, much interest was raised in regard to biomedical applications of various
ceramic materials. A little bit later, such materials were named bioceramics. This review is …

Nano hydroxyapatite doped with zinc (0.2 wt%), silver (0.25 wt%) and gold (0.025
wt%),(HAP), has been obtained by an innovative wet chemical approach, coupled with a …

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium
orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists …

In the late 1960's, a strong interest was raised in biomedical applications of ceramic
materials (named bioceramics a little bit later). Bioceramics was initially used as reasonable …

In the present work, the synthesis and characterization of nano-HAP powders by a novel
ultrasonic coupled sol–gel synthesis is reported. The obtained powders were sintered by …

In this work, the effect of microwave sintering on the properties of 1 mol% ceria-doped
scandia stabilized zirconia (10Sc1CeSZ) was investigated. The sintering was carried out at …

with the physical description of the process, viz., the stages of sintering and the
thermodynamic driving force for sintering. The next three sections deal with the classical …
