Abstract :
In this study, porous titanium composites containing 5, 10 and 15 wt. % nanobioglass were fabricated by
space holder sintering process. The pore morphology and phase constituents of the porous samples were characterized
by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties were determined
by compression test. The porosity of the sintered samples showed an upward trend with an increase in bioglass content.
As the bioglass content was increased, the compressive strength was first increased and then decreased. The results
obtained in this work suggest that the fabricated porous compact with 10 wt. % bioglass with compressive strength
value of about 76.7 MPa, high porosity and good biocompatibility has the potential application for bone tissue
engineering.
