ABSTRACT

Commercial hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were calcined at the temperature range of 1000~1350oC in air, for 2 h, and the calcined powders were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) of pH 7.4 at 37oC for 3 or 7 days. Thermal decomposition and their related dissolution behaviors of hydroxyapatite were investigated by XRD, FT-IR, and TEM. At the temperature of 1200oC, HA gradually releases its OH- ions and transforms to OHAP((oxyhydroxyapatite, (Ca10(PO4)6Ox(OH)2 - 2x)). HA thermally decomposes to a-TCP (a-tricalcium phosphate) and TTCP (tetracalcium phosphate) phase at 1350oC. It was found that the surface dissolution of the hydroxyapatite powders was accelerated by non-stoichiometric composition and decomposed to a-TCP and TTCP.
