Élaboration et caractérisation d'un biomatériau à base de phosphates de calcium

The tricalcium phosphate–fluorapatite composite has a good aptitude to sintering at 1300 °C, so a densification rate of about 90% was reached with 33.16 wt% of fluorapatite. At 1300 °C, the increase of the content of fluorapatite in the composite favours the formation of the α tricalcium phosphate phase. The ³¹P MAS-NMR analysis reveals the presence of three tetrahedral P sites for the tricalcium phosphate, whereas the fluorapatite possesses only one. At temperatures higher than 1300 °C, the densification is hindered by grain growth and the formation of large pores. To cite this article: F. Ben Ayed, J. Bouaziz, C. R. Physique 8 (2007).
