Effects of bismuth oxide on the sinterability of hydroxyapatite

The sinterability of Bi2O3-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) has been studied and compared with the undoped HA. Varying amounts of Bi2O3 ranging from 0.05 wt% to 1.0 wt% were mixed with the HA. The study revealed that most sintered samples composed of the HA phase except for compacts containing 0.3, 0.5 an...
