The component and morphology of the ceramics were observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. The compressive strength of specimens was tested by Testometric M350-20KN. The results show that the samples can be calcined at 1150 deg C without phase ...
The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses were used to characterize the samples. The observations revealed that the microstructure of 1 wt% CNT could provide dispersion without ...
The products formed were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and i.r. spectroscopic techniques for identification of phases formed and functional groups present in them. While tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide taken in the molar ratio of 3 : 2 and 3 : 3 resulted in pure HAP ...
XRD and FTIR confirmed the presence of β-TCP as being firmly deposited on the fibers. After an immersion in distilled water, we observed that the β-TCP-containing composite fibers were more degradable with many damaged and broken fibers compared to the LA/PCL fibers. MTT assay and immersion...
The bioactivity assay was conducted by immersing the samples in SBF solution for 7 and 21 days, and the SEM and XRD surface analyses of the PLA/TCP biocomposites presented evidence of carbonated hydroxyapatite formation. The biocompatibility assay was performed using the extract method until 7 days...
The calcined bones were analyzed by Xray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (GTA), inductively coupled plasma optical atom emissions spectroscopy (ICP-OES), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The in vitro ...
XRD and FTIR showed no chemical reaction between the calcium phosphate and silica. SEM allowed observation of a silicon-based coating on the structure surface. Mechanical strength of the sintered porous structures was within the range of that of trabecular bones....
The scaffolds were evaluated by FTIR, XRD, compressive strength test, MTT assay, and radiographic and histological analyses. The XRD results confirmed the presence of pTCP and ZSM-5 phases in the composite scaffolds and also, indicated that the addition of gelatin decrease the crystallinity of ...
