Abstract
β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is one of the most investigated calcium phosphates to be used in bone tissue regeneration. Nowadays, β-TCP has been synthetized by different methods that allow obtaining different morphologies with chemical compositions similar to the bone tissue, broadening the possibilities of use. In this work, β-TCP powders were obtained using two different routes: mechanosynthesis and sol–gel. Results shown that both methods had significant effects on morphology and size particle of the obtained powders. The average size particles obtained using mechanosynthesis at 24 and 12h of milling time were 1000 and 170nm, respectively. The average size particles of the powders fabricated using sol–gel was 350nm, and the average powder particle size of the sigma reagent was 1450nm. Besides, sol–gel and sigma reagent powders were observed residual phases, instead mechanosynthesis shown only tricalcium phosphate beta phase. The formation of agglomerates with different sizes was observed in both methods by sol–gel and mechanosynthesis.
