Fabrication of macroporous amorphous calcium phosphate ceramic scaffolds by pressure-driven sintering at sub-zero temperature using ice microspheres as space holders
Source abstract
Abstract
• ACP can be pressure-driven sintered at sub-zero temperatures, enabling the use of ice as a space holder. • Mechanical properties of sub-zero temperature pressure-driven sintered ACP ceramic approach those of conventionally sintered hydroxyapatite. • Ice microspheres are used as space holders to introduce controlled porosity into the ACP ceramic. • Crack formation at densification pressures above the ice I h stability pressure limits the strength of the fabricated ACP scaffolds.
