In this work, nanostructured HA ceramics with dense microstructure were prepared by microwave sintering process and their microstructures were compared with the case of conventional sintering. Commercially obtained HA powder with Ca/P molar ratio of 1.67 was used as a starting material. The powder of granular type consists of nanocrystalline particles of 20-30 nm in size. The as-received HA powder or the powder calcined at 800 degrees C, followed by ball-milling was used for the preparation of HA disks. Microwave sintering was conducted at 1200 degrees C for 5 min with a heating rate of 50 degrees C/min. HA ceramics with the sintered densities of approximately 96-97% of the theoretical were obtained. XRD analysis showed that all detectable peaks are identical to pure hydroxyapatite. The HA sintered body made of calcined and ball-milled powder showed uniform microstructure with grain size of 300-400 nm and with finer sub-grains of 30-40 nm.

Ceramic armor protection with complex shapes is limited by the difficult molding or machining processing, and 3D printing technology provides a feasible method for complex-shaped ceramics. In this study, ZrO ceramics were manufactured by 3D printing accompanied with microwave sintering. In 3D printing, the formula of photosensitive resin was optimized by controlling the content of polyurethane acrylic (PUA) as oligomer, and the photosensitive resin with 50% PUA showed excellent curing performance with a small volume shrinkage of 4.

The significance of biomedical applications of Ti alloys is best emphasized by their widespread utilization as implantable materials, such as internal supports and bone replacements. Ti alloys are sensitive to fretting wear, which leads to the early failure of Ti implants. Improved wear resistance of such implants is essential to ensure a prolonged implant life.
