Abstract

A titanium-substituted hydroxyapatite has been prepared using titanium (IV) isopropoxide as a titanium source to obtain a biomaterial having an improved biocompatibility. From the XRD analysis, it was confirmed that the single-phase hydroxyapatite containing titanium has formed without revealing the presence of extra phases related to titanium dioxide or other calcium phosphate species. Titanium content was up to 0.73% by weight. EDS investigation confirmed the presence of titanium in the framework of hydroxyapatite structure.
