In cementless fixation of metallic prostheses, bony ingrowth onto the implant surface is often
promoted by osteoconductive plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings. The present work …

The Vickers hardness and Young's modulus of the hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics with a
small amount of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were studied by using …

In this work, a micromechanical study using the lattice spring model (LSM) was performed to
predict the mechanical properties of BPMs by simulation of the Brazilian test. Stress-strain …

The chemical and structural similarities of calcium orthophosphates (abbreviated as CaPO
4) to the mineral composition of natural bones and teeth have made them a good candidate …

Zirconia/hydroxyapatite composites were prepared by mixing hydroxyapatite (HA) and ZrO 2
nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation synthesis. Nanoparticle composites with …
