Abstract

There are many varieties of extracellular matrices for bone tissue engineering applications. Calcium phosphates are one kind of bioceramics because of their good biocompatibilities. Biodegradability velocity is an important feature for biomaterials, which is affected by the ratio of calcium to phosphor in the calcium phosphate ceramics. The effects of mixing sequence of Ca(OH) 2 suspension and H3PO4 solution on the final products were investigated using experimental approaches based on thermodynamics calculations. The optimal synthesis processing was found out to prepare calcium phosphate bioceramics with variable Ca/P ratios from 1.0 to 1.67.
