Abstract
Copper- and cerium-substituted and copper-cerium co-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) nanopowders were synthesized through aqueous precipitation method. The obtained materials were studied by XRD, SEM, BET absorption and dilatometry. The effects of the cation substitution for calcium ions in HA structure on the phase composition, lattice parameters, shrinkage and microstructure of the ceramics were studied and discussed. It was concluded that cerium ions incorporation in small amount (0, 1 mol. %) contribute to a sintering process more than rather higher amount of copper ions (5 mol. %).
