Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are clinically used in bone related surgical operations for irregular defect filling operations. The cement nature also enables them to be used in additive manufacturing to produce bioceramic structures with irregular shapes and scaffolds with specific geometry, shape and macroporosity, as explored in this thesis. In this study, first a CPC cement precursor, α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP or α-Ca3(PO4)2), is synthesized by using two different powder mixtures of CaHPO4:CaCO3 and Ca2P2O7:CaCO3, respectively. The end-product of second mixture found to be more reactive for cement conversion. The cement conversion here implies conversion of α-TCP to biological bone mineral-like phase calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHAp or Ca9(PO4)(HPO4)(OH)) upon water uptake. The synthesized α-TCP powder are combined with two different binder liquid solutions (Pluronic F127:water and sodium Alginate:water) to obtain injectable cement paste. It is observed that α-TCP:Pluronic F127:Water mixture showed better injectability and provided good integrity upon injecting. α-TCP-based and/or hybrid cement pastes were prepared by blending a-TCP:calcium sulfate Hemihydrate (Plaster of Paris, CSH or CaSO4 · 1/2 H2O) and hydration (cement conversion) behavior of those mixtures were examined thoroughly. It is shown that CSH addition delayed hydration of α-TCP. Taking into consideration of preliminary experiments, optimized cement pastes were implemented on Direct-Ink Writing 3D printing process. Scaffolds with different solid compositions (TCP:CSH) were successfully fabricated. As it was expected, addition of CSH did not improve the strength of the scaffolds, however it enabled controlling microporosity for the printed constructs due to dissolution of calcium sulfate phases during cement hydration. The results of this can be expanded to print any irregular shaped CDHAp, by combining CAD-supported 3D.

Additive manufacturing of biodegradable magnesium implants and scaffolds: Review of the recent advances and research trends Sezer, Nurettin; Evis, Zafer; Koc, Muammer (2021-03-01) Synthetic grafting needs improvements to eliminate secondary surgeries for the removal of implants after healing of the defected tissues. Tissue scaffolds are engineered to serve as temporary templates, which support the affected tissue and gradually degrade through the healing period. Beside mechanical function to withstand the anatomic loading conditions, scaffolds should also provide a decent biological function for the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and excretion of the wastes from the ...
Synthesis, characterization and osteoblastic activity of polycaprolactone nanofibers coated with biomimetic calcium phosphate MAVİŞ, BORA; Demirtas, Tolga T.; GÜMÜŞDERELİOĞLU, MENEMŞE; Gündüz, Güngör; Colak, Uner (2009-10-01) Immersion of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber mats in calcium phosphate solutions similar to simulated body fluid resulted in deposition of biomimetic calcium phosphate layer on the nanofibers and thus a highly bioactive novel scaffold has been developed for bone tissue engineering. Coatings with adequate integrity, favorable chemistry and morphology were achieved in less than 6 h of immersion. In the coating solutions, use of lower concentrations of phosphate sources with respect to the literat...
MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTIC OF NANO CALCIUM PHOSPHATES DOPED WITH FLUORIDE AND TITANIUM IONS Gungor, Serap; Evis, Zafer (2013-10-31) Calcium phosphates (CaP) are frequently used in medical applications due to their high biocompatibility in the human body. In this study, nano-sized CaPs (with Ca/P molar ratios of 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.67, and 2) doped with titanium (Ti4+) and fluoride (F-) ions were synthesized by a precipitation method and sintered at 1300 degrees C for 1h. These bioceramics were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and micro-hardness. It was observed that high amount of Ti4+ led to a decrease in densification when Ca/P ratio was 1...
EMULSION-BASED PROCESSING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOMIMETIC HYDROXYAPATITE MICROSPHERES BY USING CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CEMENTS Öndin, Nilsu; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-11-22) Synthetic materials for bone defects have been widely used for biomedical applications. One of these materials is bioactive ceramic-based microspheres in the size range of couple 100s m. These microspheres are used for irregular defect filling operations due to high packing efficiency. The spherical shape also increases the surface area, reactivity, and cell adhesion. The osteoconduction (bone tissue growth) is the primary concern for hard-tissue replacements and grafts. Alpha-tricalcium phosphate (-TCP, ...
Dip coating of calcium hydroxyapatite on Ti-6Al-4V substrates Mavis, B; Tas, AC (2000-04-01) Ti-6Al-4V alloy is the most commonly used metallic material in the manufacture of orthopedic implants. The main inorganic phase of human bone is calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)-(OH)(2), HA). To achieve better biocompatibility with bone, metal implants made of Ti-6Al-4V are often coated with bioceramics. Dip-coating techniques scarcely are used to apply HA onto metallic implants. New dipping-solution recipes to be used for HA coatings are described in this work. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray d...
