Preparation and Characterization of Bioceramics constructed from Three-Dimensionally Ordered Macroporous Material

Abstract

Three dimensionally ordered porous bioactive ceramics are interesting as new artificial born. In this study, the porous ceramics were prepared with colloidal crystal templating method using polystyrene beads. HAp was selected as the porous ceramic matrix. The pore sizes of three dimensionally ordered macro-porous HAp were controlled with polystyrene beads with different diameters. These materials exhibited a good biocompatibility by examining in vitro test using a simulated body fluid (SBF).
