Reaction-Bonded Reinforced Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate-Based Composite Materials for Orthopedics and Traumatology

详细

A process has been proposed for the fabrication of reaction-bonded dicalcium phosphate dihydrate-based composite materials possessing rather high strength owing to reinforcement with discrete glass fiber and compaction. We have studied the effects of the heat treatment temperature of tricalcium phosphate, a precursor to dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, and filler concentration on the chemical and physicomechanical properties of the composite materials thus produced.
