수산화칼슘(Ca(OH)₂)과 인산(H₃PO₄) 수용액을 반응시켜 수산화아파타이트(hydroxyapatite, HAp)를 합성하였다. 3 M 이상의 고농도 수산화칼슘원료를 전구체로 사용하고 인산 첨가속도, 반응용액 유지시간, 반응생성물에 대한 볼밀링, 합성 후 열처리 같은 합성조건을 변화시켜 HAp를 합성하였다. 인산 첨가속도에 관계없이 상온에서 합성할 경우 주된 불순물상(phase)인 DCPD(dicalcium phosphate dihydrate)가 형성되었고, 700℃ 이상 가열 시 β-TCP(tricalcium phosphate)가 합성되기 시작해 900℃에서 그 양이 최대가 되었다. 합성된 분말을 1150℃에서 소결 할 경우에도 고온안정 불순물 상인 β-TCP 상은 없어지지 않고 남아있었다. 합성 수용액에 대한 볼밀링 후 3일 간 그 용액을 유지할 경우 DCPD 상이 없는 단일 HAp 상을 얻을 수 있었으며, 유지시간 없이 합성물에 대한 볼밀링 과정만을 거친 경우에도 500℃ 이상 열처리를 통해 β-TCP 상이 없는 단일상의 HAp를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 추가적인 볼밀링 과정을 적용함으로써 HAp를 손쉽게 합성할 수 있었다.

In the bone cement composed of dense granules of $\beta-Ca_3(PO_4){_2}(\beta-TCP)$ and $Ca(H_2PO_4){_2}H_2O$, the compressive strength, setting time and temperature rise were measured to observe the degradation of cement with respect to the stored days before setting. Decreases of compressive strength and temperature rise were observed, while setting time increased with respect to the stored days. The similar trends were repeated with the increase of temperature of storage. Such a change virtually meant the fading of the character of cement and it took place only when the two starting materials were mixed during storage. The degradation could be mitigated taking advantage of granular $\beta$-TCP instead of powdery one. The formation of $CaHPO_4$, which resulted from reaction with ambient humidity, was attributed to the degradation observed during storage. Dependence of the degradation behavior on mixing and temperature during storage was discussed in terms of the driving force for reaction of cement.

Ti metal has superior mechanical properties along with biocompatibility, but it still has the problem of bio-inertness thus forming weaker bond in bone/implant interface and long term clinical performance as orthopaedic and dental devices are restricted for stress shielding effect. On the other hand, despite the excellent biodegradable behavior as being an integral constituent of the natural bone, the mechanical properties of ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate $(Ca_3(PO_4)_2;\;{\beta}-TCP)$ ceramics are not reliable enough for post operative load bearing application in human hard tissue defect site. One reasonable approach would be to mediate the features of the two by making a composite. In this study, ${\beta}$-TCP/Ti ceramic-metal composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering in inert atmosphere to inhibit the formation of $TiO_2$. Composites of 30 vol%, 50 vol% and 70 vol% ${\beta}$-TCP with Ti were fabricated. Detailed microstructural and phase characteristics were investigated by FE-SEM, EDS and XRD. Material properties like relative density, hardness, compressive strength, elastic modulus etc. were characterized. Cell viability and biocompatibility were investigated using the MTT assay and by examining cell proliferation behavior.

To improve the injection behavior of brushite cement, dense ${\beta}-Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ (${\beta}-TCP$) granules were added to the starting material. The spherical ${\beta}-TCP$ granules prepared by spray-drying and subsequent sintering at $1000{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ accounted for fractions of from 0.5 to 0.7 of the total ${\beta}-TCP$. The injection behavior was evaluated by measuring the injected mass divided by the loaded mass of paste in the syringe pump. The injected amount was increased with the increase in the fraction and sintering temperature of ${\beta}-TCP$ granules, except at $1200^{\circ}C$. The increase in the fraction of ${\beta}-TCP$ and its sintering temperature resulted in a decrease in the plastic limit, which is the volume of water required to liquefy the compact. The rest water could be utilized in the cement with the reduced plastic limit for improved injectability. The amounts of rest water assigned for powdery phase were estimated, and correlated with the injectability of paste.

Aerosol Deposition (AD) is anovel way to fabricate bioactive ceramic coatings in biomedical implants and prostheses applications. In the present work, silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on commercially pure titanium were prepared by aerosol deposition using Si-HA powders. The incorporation of silicon in the HA lattice is known to improve the bioactivity of the HA, makingsilicon-substitute HA an attractive alternative to pure HA in biomedical applications. Si-HA powders with the chemical formula $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6-x(SiO_4)x(OH)_2-x$, having silicon contents up to x=0.5 (1.4 wt%), were synthesized by solid-state reaction of $Ca_2P_2O_7$, $CaCO_3$, and $SiO_2$. The Si-HA powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The corresponding coatings were also analyzed by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The results revealed that a single-phase Si-HA was obtained without any secondary phases such as $\alpha$- or $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for both the powders and the coatings.The Si-HA coating was about $5\;{\mu}m$ thick, had a densemicrostructure with no cracks or pores. In addition, the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells grown on the Si-HA coatings were significantly higher than those on the bare Ti and pure HA coating. These results revealed the stimulatory effects induced by siliconsubstitution on the cellular response to the HA coating.
