Validation of an Analytical Model Describing Mechanical Properties of Porous BCP Ceramics
Abstract:
Macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate bioceramics, for use as bone substitutes, have been fabricated by cold isostatic pressing and conventional sintering, using naphthalene particles as a porogen to produce macropores. The resulting ceramics, composite materials made of hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate containing various macroporosities and microporosities, have been submitted to compression and three-point bending tests. The mechanical tests performed on the sintered ceramics tend to validate the modelling approach and its hypothesis, i.e. the material can be considered as a microporous matrix containing isolated macropores, and the critical flaw is a macropore.
