Fabrication of Calcium Sulfate/Tri-Calcium Phosphate Composite Bone Fillers through Molding Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calcium sulfate/tri-calcium phosphate (CaSO4/TCP) composite bone fillers were fabricated through molding method. Their structure and properties were characterized by infrared spectroscope, scanning electronic spectroscope, x-ray diffraction and degradation test. The results show that TCP crystals were attached to the CaSO4 crystals and prevented the growing of sulfate crystals. So their size is shorter than that of CaSO4 crystals prepared from pure CaSO4 semihydrate, and some even had defect. The resorption rate of CaSO4 bone fillers was decreased when TCP was incorporated.
