Abstract

Effects of phosphate bioglass on sintering of hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2,HA) scaffolds prepared by freeze-drying casting was studied. The phosphate bioglass, acted as a binder, was added in a mixture of HA powders and forming additives. The result shows that the phosphate bioglass binder could improve the sintering behavior and reduce the sintering temperature, but it could promote the transformation of HA into -Ca3(PO4)2 and Ca2P2O7.
