Hydroxyapatite(HAp, Ca$\sub$10/(PO$_4$)$\sub$6/(OH)$_2$, is a compound with structural and chemical resemblance bone mineral and of particular importance in the field of biomaterials. In addition to the non-toxicity and high compatibility with hard and soft tissue, HAp exhibits strong affinity to host hard tissues and protein molecules. However, HAP is difficult to shape in the specific forms due to its hardness and brittleness. (omitted)

$Ca_{10}(PO_{4})_{6}(OH)_{2}$ humidity-sensitive devices were fabricated by a solid reaction method, and their humidity-sensitive characteristics were investigated. The impedance decreases with increasing relative humidity, and the good sensitivity is shown in which impedance changes by about $10^{2}\;{\Omega}$ over the region of $30{\sim}90\;%$. Also, It is shown that the humidity sensitivity is stable in temperature variations and long time exposures to the humidity. The sensitivity of the specimens is not affected by a heat treatment, and the hysteresis in one humidity cycle is negligible.

인체 경조직인 뼈와 치아는 콜라겐 단백질과 인산칼슘 무기질 성분으로 구성된 최적의 복합체라 볼 수 있다. 이러한 인산칼슘 무기질 성분은 결정학적, 화학적으로 hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)와 거의 유사하여 높은 생체활성과 골전도성을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한, hydroxyapatite의 고온 분해 산물로 볼 수 있는 tricalcuim phosphate(TCP, Ca3(PO4)2)는 체내에 이식시 체액에 용해되어 신생골을 유도하는 생체흡수성 세라믹스로 알려져있다. 이러한 HA와 TCP는 우수한 생체친화성에도 불구하고 기계적 특성이 낮아, non-load bearing 부위에 적용이 되어 다공질의 골수복재 용도로 활용되거나, load-bearing부위의 적용을 위한 금속 implant 등의 생체친화성 보완을 위한 표면 코팅재로 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 발표에서는 생체특성이 매우 우수한 인산칼슘 생체세라믹스의 load-bearing part 적용을 위하여 강도 및 파괴인성의 기계적 특성을 증진시킨 사례를 살펴보고, non-load bearing part에 실제 사용되는 인산칼슘 생체세라믹스의 다공질(porous) 골수복재(bone graft)의 역학 특성 증진을 위한 아이디어와 함께, 역학 특성이 매우 뛰어난 지르코니아 생체세라믹스의 강화-소결법에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

Introduction: Hydroxyapatite ($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, HA) is the main inorganic phase of human hard tissue that is used widely as the repair material for bones. When HA is applied to a bony defect, however, it can be encapsulated with fibrous tissue and float in the implanted area due to a lack of consolidation. Bioceramics as allogenic graft materials are added to HA to improve the rate and bone healing capacity. Fluoridated hydroxyapatite ($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH,F)_2$, FHA), where F- partially replaces the OH- in hydroxyapatite, is considered a good alternative material for bone repair owing to its solubility and biocompatibility. Materials and Methods: This study was designed to determine the bone healing capacity of FHA newly produced as a nanoscale fiber in the laboratory. HA and FHA with bioglass was implanted in a rabbit cranium defect and the specimen was analysed histologically. Results: 1. At 4 weeks, fibrous connective tissue and little bone formation was observed around the materials of the experimental group I implanted HA and bioglass. Newly formed bone was observed around the materials in the experimental group II implanted FHA and bioglass. 2. At 8 weeks, the amount of newly formed and matured bone was higher in experimental group II than in experimental group I and the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that FHA and bioglass is a relatively favorable bone substitute with biocompatibility and better bone healing capacity than pure HA and bioglass.

Partail oxidation(POX) of n-butane was investigated in this research by employing ceria-promoted Ni/calcium hydroxyapatite catalysts ($Ce_xNi_{2.5}Ca_{10}(OH)_2(PO_4)_6$ ; x = $0.1{\sim}0.3$) which had recently been reported to exhibit good catalytic performance in POX of methane and propane. The experiments were carried out with changing ceria content, $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio and temperature. As the $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ feed ratio increased up to 2.75, n-$C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H_2$ yield increased and the selectivity of methane and other hydrocarbons decreased. But with $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ = 3.0, $n-C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H_2$ yield decreased. This is considered due to that too much oxygen may inhibit the reduction of Ni or induce the oxidation of Ni, which results in poor catalytic activity. The optimum $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio lay between 2.50 and 2.75. $Ce_{0.1}Ni_{2.5}Ca_{10}(OH)_2(PO_4)_6$ showed the highest $n-C_4H_{10}$ conversion and $H-2$ yield on the whole. In durability tests, higher hydrogen yield and better catalyst stability were obtained with the $O_2/n-C_4H_{10}$ ratio of 2.75 than with the ratio of 2.5.

RF sputtering process was applied to produce thin hydroxyapatite［HA, Ca10($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $ (OH)_2$films on Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates. To make a 101.6 mm dia.${\times}$5 mm HA target, the commercial HA powder was first calcinated for 3h at $200^{\circ}C$. A certain amount of the calcinated HA powder was pressed under a pressure of 20,000 psi by the cold isostatic press(CIP) and the pressed HA target was sintered for 6 h at $1,200^{\circ}C$. The effects of different heat treating conditions on the bonding strength between HA thin films and Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates were studied. Before deposition, the alloy substrates were annealed for 1 h at $850^{\circ}C$ under $3.0${\times}$10^{-3}$ Xtorr, and after deposition, the hydroxyapatite/Ti-6Al-4V alloy thin films were annealed for 1 h at 400, 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ under the atmosphere, respectively. Experimental results represented that the HA thin films on the annealed substrates had higher hardness than non-heat treated substrates before the deposition.

The bone graft materials are grossly divided into autogenous bone, allogenic bone, xenogenic bone, and alloplastic material. Among the various allogenic graft materials, hydroxyapatite($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, HA), the main inorganic phase of human hard tissue, is widely used as a repair material for bones. When HA applied to bony defect, however, it may be encapsulated with fibrous tissue and floated in the implanted area by the lack of consolidation. Fluoridated hydroxyapatite($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, FHA), where F- partially replaces the OH- in the hydroxyapatite, is considered as an alternative material for bone repair due to its solubility and biocompatibility. This study was designed to find out the bone healing capacity of FHA newly produced as a nanoscale fiber in the laboratory. We implanted HA and FHA in the rabbit cranium defect and histologically analysed the specimen. The results were as follows. 1. In the 4 weeks, fibrous connective tissue and little bone formation around materials of the experimental group I implanted HA were observed. In the experimental group II implanted FHA, newly formed bone around materials were observed. 2. In the 8 weeks, the amount of newly formed and matured bone of the experimental group II was more than the experimental group I and control group. From the results obtained, we suggest that FHA, newly synthesized, is relatively favorable bone substitute with bioconpatibility and has better bone healing capacity than pure HA.

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is known as the main inorganic component of mature mammalian bones and teeth. Because of its biocompatibility, hydroxyapatite has attracted much attention due to its potential applications in many biomedical researches. Here, we tested a therapeutic potential for the use of hydroxyapatite as an anticancer drug delivery vector. We prepared various types of hydroxyapatite having different chemical contents and morphologies using hydrothermal synthesis. The capability of hydroxyapatite as drug delivery materials was examined by adsorption kinetics of 5-fluorouracil molecules, a common anticancer drug, in phosphate buffered saline. We find that hydroxyapatite with smaller crystal size and higher phosphate contents shows improved adsorption property. Given that hydroxyapatite provides a scaffold for bone regeneration, these results highlight a potential use of hydroxyapatite in therapies aimed at osteosarcoma.

Hydroxyapatite $(HAp,\;Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2)$/alumina composites were fabricated with the addition of fluorides, such as $MgF_2$ and $CaF_2$. In this study, the effect of fluorides on the inhibition of phase decomposition and the mechanical properties of HAp was investigated. Due to the higher solubility of F ion in HAp structure, $MgF_2$ additive was more effective compared to $CaF_2$ additive in the lowering decomposition temperature of HAp. Therefore, the dissociation tendency of HAp was fully inhibited below $1400^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties of HAp composites with $MgF_2$ additive showed higher value (flexural strength: $\~170MPa$, Vickers hardness: $\~7\;GPa$, fracture toughness: $\~1.5\;MPam^{1/2}$) compared to $MgF_2-free$ composites. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of HAp composites with $MgF_2$ showed the value of $16.4\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C\;at\;20\~400^{\circ}C $.
