Abstract

Bioceramics based on calcium phosphate have been widely used due to their excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity as well as chemical composition. Sponge replica method has been developed because of its interconnected pores which are similar to cancellous bone. Porous Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) scaffold was fabricated with the synthesized powder by the replica method. BCP slurry was coated 3 times and then PU was burnt out at 800 °C. The scaffolds were prepared infiltrated with PCL slurry and sintering at 1200 °C for 3 hours to improve the compressive strength. Bending strength and relative density were measured. Microstructures of the composites were observed using SEM. The biocompatibility and one cell morphology of the fabricated porous body were investigated by MTT assay and SEM observation.
