Fabrication of Ti–Al2O3–HA composites by spark plasma sintering and its properties for medical applications
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the properties of the titanium–alumina–hydroxyapatite (Ti–Al2O3–HA) composites made by the spark plasma sintering method for dental applications were investigated. Pure titanium, Ti–Al2O3, and Ti–Al2O3–HA composites were produced using the spark plasma sintering method. The effects of the hydroxyapatite additions on the density, porosity concentration, mechanical properties, corrosion properties, and cytocompatibility were investigated. The pure titanium showed the highest and the Ti–Al2O3sample revealed the lowest compressive strength. The compressive strength of the Ti–Al2O3–HA sample showed an improvement compared to the Ti–Al2O3sample. The electrochemical results indicated that the addition of alumina and hydroxyapatite to titanium enhanced the corrosion resistance. According to the results of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, the Ti–Al2O3–HA sample showed the highest cytocompatibility among the samples, and the addition of hydroxyapatite improved cytocompatibility and enhanced cell viability compared to the other samples.Graphical abstract
