Sintering of TCP-TiO2 biocomposites: influence of secondary phases.
TCP-TiO2 ceramic biocomposites with various alpha-to-beta TCP ratios can be prepared by quenching the alpha phase. The presence of dopants (Ca, P, or Na) leads to the precipitation of secondary phases, which decreases the densification of titania. In the system TCP-TiO2, there is a eutectic with a composition of 63 wt% TCP-37 wt% TiO2 at a temperature of 1380 degrees C.
