Research of Preparation and Properties of CaSO4/HAw Bone Graft Substitute

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calcium sulfate/hydroxyl apatite whiskers composite is possible to be used as bone graft substitute, for its biocompatibility, controllable degradation, and suitable mechanical properties. In this study, calcium sulfate/hydroxyl apatite whisker composites were fabricated and characterized. The characteristics of the composites were assessed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and immersing testing techniques. The composites prepared in this article have been confirmed to be ideally used as biodegradable implants.
