Abstract
This work aims to synthesize and evaluate the flexural strength of experimental dense polycrystalline ceramic composites of pure bovine hydroxyapatite (DPCBHA), Core-Shell ZrO2@SiO2 and DPCBHA reinforced with 15wt% of Core-Shell ZrO2@SiO2 particles. The hydroxyapatite will be extracted from bovine metatarsals and particulate until submicrometric particles powder is obtained. For core-shel…
