Abstract
  • Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an interesting ceramic material for orthopaedic applications, in particular for implant operations and bone regeneration, owing to its bioactivity and biocompatibility with the surrounding tissues. Even if different shaping processes can be used in order to obtain porous ceramic bodies with optimal final properties, the sponge impregnation method with aqueous HA dispersions is particularly suitable to achieve an appropriate macroporosity to bone regeneration. As for conventional slip or tape casting, the rheological behavior of HA suspensions must be properly fitted to process conditions and controlled through a satisfactory stabilization of the disperse phase, i.e., through an appropriate dispersant dosage and an accurate homogenization of dispersed powder. In the present work, HA powders with different crystallinity degree were used to prepare aqueous dispersions with different contents of solids and dispersant (ammonium polyacrylate). The specific surface area of HA powders is very high, and then special attention must be dedicated to the dispersant selection and the dispersion process since the rheology of HA suspensions is strongly influenced by the structural conditions of the disperse phase. Even small differences in dispersant concentration can lead to dramatic changes in the rheological properties also at relatively low values of solids volume concentration. Above a critical concentration, the viscosity drop associated with the apparently plastic behaviour is confined within a very narrow stress range, a neat transition is observed in the linear viscoelastic properties, and the timedependent effects induced by the shear history become quite important and crucial for the experimental characterization.
