Abstract

As bioactive calcium phosphate ceramics hydroxyapatite is known as one of the most important biomaterials used for orthopedic and dental applications due to its chemical composition similar to that of bone and bioactive properties. It is relatively cheap, nontoxic, minimally resorbed, has an acceptable compressive strength, and could be well attached to hard tissues. Few studies for obtaining a hybrid metal-ceramic composite by powder metallurgy are presented in this paper. Some experimental analytical methods for characterization of the new obtained material have been used, as follows: FTIR, SEM, and EDAX. Results of the tests registered on the hybrid composites are evaluated and discussed properly..
