Abstract | Titanium/hydroxyapatite (Ti/HA) composites with low HA additions (≤ 20 vol.%) were fabricated by powder metallurgy and the in vitro bioactivity of the composites was evaluated in a simulated body fluid (SBF). After immersion in the SBF, all composite samples induced nucleation and growth of carbonated apatite. With the increase of the HA addition, co-precipitation of CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 with the apatite was detected on the composite surface at an early stage of immersion. The in vitro behavior of the composites and the precipitates formed during immersion were determined by both the surface conditions and the chemistry of the composite. The results indicated that the Ti/HA composites with low HA addition were bioactive and hard the potential to be used for hard-tissue replacement. |
