A hot isostatic process for fabricating porous materials

Effects of polymer amount and processing conditions on the in vitro behaviour of hybrid titanium dioxide/polycaprolactone composites

“…Bone defects of vertebral body, long bones and mandible, can be restored by manufacturing suitable TiO 2 /PCL inlays through the heat-compression moulding technique described in this study, thus reproducing the bone cavity to be filled; it has been shown that TiO 2 enhances the bonding of prosthetic devices to bone [3]. Another interesting application is related to bioactive intervertebral disc spacers; fusion of adjacent vertebrae being promoted by TiO 2 [27]. By combining bioactive and bioresorbable capabilities, TiO 2 / PCL composites are also becoming increasingly important as partially bioresorbable scaffolds for hard tissue engineering [11,12].…”

Introductory Chapter: A Brief Introduction to Porous Ceramic

“…Hence their fabrication methods are being widely studied and the subject of inclusive research. Partial sintering of ceramic powder compacts is one of the methods used to fabricate porous ceramic bodies, but this method mostly yields low porosities (less than 50%) and few options to significantly alter the pore size distribution [12].…”

State of the art review on design and manufacture of hybrid biomedical materials: Hip and knee prostheses

“…However, in HIP, by adjusting the processing parameters including sintering temperature and pressure, it is possible to achieve interconnected porous structures with acceptable mechanical characteristics and high permeability. 98 Spark plasma sintering. One of the other advanced processes in PM is spark plasma sintering (SPS) [99][100][101] which makes it possible to sinter the green compacts at relatively lower temperatures and shorter times.…”
