Consolidation and characterization of Cu, Mg substituted hydroxyapatite by cold sintering by Hmood Firas J., Sabri Israa K., Najim Allaa S.

“…Owing to the low sintering temperature the resulting hydroxyapatites have not experienced thermal decomposition, besides no additional phases have appeared. Biologically, the sintered sample (Cu0.25Mg0.75Ca9(PO4)6(OH)2) showed larger degradability (0.0001 g/mm2) than to others after one day of immersion.…”
