Preparation of Porous Hydroxylapatite Using Polystyrene Microspheres as Pore Former

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polystyrene (PS) microspheres were prepared by dispersion polymerization method and using PS microspheres as pore former porous hydroxylapatite (HA) was prepared by Liquid phase precipitation method. The phase constituent was analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and the microstructure was observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the prepared porous HA was of high purity and their pores were evenly distributed, with pore about 200nm in diameter. PS microspheres were probably the most economic and environmental pore-forming materials.
