Description

DESCRIPTION Porous microsphere of high porosity nanohydroxyapatite and its preparation process Technical field The invention belongs to the technical field of materials and relates in particular to a porous microsphere of high porosity nanohydroxyapatite and its preparation process.

Background Technology Hydroxyapatite has attracted a lot of attention from biomaterials and medical experts because its structure and composition are very similar to human bone tissue. There are many processes for preparing hydroxyapatite microspheres, such as the hydrothermal process, the emulsion crosslinking process, the microwave process, and the spray drying process. Among these, the emulsion crosslinking process is mainly used for the preparation of organic or inorganic composite hydroxyapatite microspheres, but this process has problems such that the microspheres are easy to agglomerate and the crosslinking agent is difficult. to be eliminated completely. The drying process

> BE2019 / 5546 by spraying has the following advantages: simple operation, no need to add toxic reagents and easy industrialization, but it also has shortcomings such as irregular shape of the microspheres and wide particle size distribution. The processes for preparing the porous hydroxyapatite include a chemical foaming process, a blowing agent process, an organic foam impregnation process and an organic matrix process. When the porous hydroxyapatite is prepared by the chemical foaming process, the pore diameter and the void rate of the porous material are difficult to control, and the pores of the obtained porous material are generally closed and the porosity of the pores is poor. The porous hydroxyapatite obtained by the pore-forming agent has a low porosity and a wide pore size distribution. The organic foam impregnation process easily generates microcracks on the biomaterial during drying and sintering, and reduces the strength of the porous hydroxyapatite. The organic template method requires the selection of an appropriate surfactant, which can be toxic and must be removed at elevated temperatures, thereby reducing the biological activity of the porous hydroxyapatite.
