Crystallization Characteristics and Thermal Stability of Fluor-Hydroxyapatite Composites with Zirconia

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesized in presence of 20wt% m-ZrO2 by solid state reaction between tricalcium phosphate(TCP) and Ca(OH)2 at 1000 °C for 2h. Similarily, Fluorine hydroxyapatite(FA) was synthesized using tricalcium phosphate and calcium fluoride as raw materials at 1000 °Cfor 3h. The as-prepared HA was mixed with 10%,25%,45%,55%,70wt% FA and the mixture was sintered at 1000°C-1400°C for 2h. The main phase and bulk density was measured. The results show that when the relative amount of FA to HA increased, the decomposition of the composite is decreased gradually because of the formation of thermally stable FHA solid solutions. Low temperature would effect the exchange of ionic between FA and HA,while high temperature would impact synthesis of composites, because high temperature would lead to dissolution of HA ,which has to react with FA. Increase the content of HA would be advantage for synthesis FHA-ZrO2 composite.
