Abstract

Nano-titania ceramics is a potential biomaterial for orthopaedic application. In our previous studies, a bioactive nano-titania ceramics was prepared by using alkali-heat treatment. In this paper, hydroxyapatite was used as a grain growth inhibitor additive to get nano-titania ceramics with different grain size, and the effect of grain size on the bioactivity was studied in vitro.
