Thermal behaviour of composites aluminosilicate-calcium phosphates
Résumé
A new type of aluminosilicate matrix calcium phosphate crystallites composites (ACPC) was synthesized and studied for osseous bone applications. The room temperature synthesis of the aluminosilicate matrix and composites was described. Thermal treatments of compounds allowed the adaptability of some parameters (pH, porosity and mechanical properties). Structure of heat treated composites were characterized by XRD and FTIR. The influence of thermal treatment on the mechanical properties, the porosity and the pH was studied for two temperatures (250 and 500degreesC). Results evidenced the ability to control the pH, the high level of porosity (approximate to70%) and the good mechanical properties, allowing to consider that ACPC are potential biomaterials for osseous bone application.
