Improvement of the hydroxyapatite mechanical properties by direct microwave sintering in single mode cavity

Résumé

The main purpose of this study consists in investigating the direct microwave sintering of hydroxyapatite (HA) in a single mode cavity. Firstly, stoichiometric HA powders were synthesized by a coprecipitation method from diammonium phosphate and calcium nitrate solutions and shaped by slip-casting. Then, using the one-step microwave process, dense pellets with fine microstructures were successfully obtained in short sintering timespan. A parametric study permitted to determine the influence of powder grain size, sintering temperature and dwell time on the sintered samples microstructures. The Young's modulus (E) and hardness (H) were measured by nanoindentation and the values discussed according to the microstructure. Finally, the resulting mechanical properties determined on the microwave sintered samples (E = 148.5 GPa, H = 9.6 GPa, σcompression = 531.3 MPa and KIC = 1.12 MPa m1/2) are significantly higher than those usually reported in the literature, whatever the sintering process, and could allow the use of HA for structural applications.
