Abstract

Various hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics were fabricated by microwave processing. By carefully selecting the starting material and controlling the processing conditions, regular HAp ceramics with density up to 97% of the theoretical density, porous HAp ceramics with porosity up to 76%, and fully densified transparent HAp ceramics were obtained by using a 2.45 GHz, 500W microwave oven. These ceramics were characterized for density, microstructure, strength, and phase composition, and the results were compared with the conventionally processed ceramics.
