In this study, the influence of the shape and size of the pores on the mechanical properties of the obtained porous HAP-based bioceramics was investigated. The porous HAP-based bioceramics were obtained starting from spherical calcium hydroxyapatite powder, obtained by hydrothermal syntheses. The number of shapeless inter-agglomerate pores decreased and amount of spherical intra-agglomerate pores increased on increasing the sintering temperature from 1100 degrees C to 1250 degrees C. The shape of pores also changed with thermal treatment of specimens; the small pores remained spherical while the larger pores became more spherical in shape, as was proved by image analysis. A three-dimensional, finite element unit cell model was applied to evaluate the influence of pore shape on the mechanical strength of HAP ceramics. By analyzing the effect of. the shape of pores to the fracture toughness of sintered porous HAP bioceramics, it was observed that the more spherical the pores were, the tougher became the bioceramics. After sintering at 1250 degrees C for 2 h, measured toughness was 1.31 MPa m(1/2), which is a relatively high value for this type of bioceramics. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
