Abstract

Experiments for investigating the problem to improve the mechanical properties of FHA [Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆F(OH)] biomaterial have been presented in this paper. ZrO₂ micro-particle, as strengthening phase, is added into FHA matrix material to make a composite biomaterial. Various mechanical properties were tested. Distribution behaviour of ZrO₂ particle in sintered material and phase structure changes of material at elevated temperature were investigated by means of X-ray and SEM. Some biologic experiments were also carried out on animals to estimate the biological function of the composite material.
