title: The mechanical stability of barium titanate (ceramic) implants in vitro.
abstract: Dense, polycrystalline barium titanate (BaTiO3) specimens showed a modulus of rupture of 85.5 +/- 9.0 MPa and a compressive strength of 486 +/- 75 MPa. These values are considerable higher than those which had been previously reported. In addition, there was no significant drop in compressive strength after in vitro aging for 4 weeks in saline solution.
