Ceramics of hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2: HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-Ca3(PO4)2: β-TCP), were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at the temperatures from 800 °C to 1000 °C for 10 min with a heating rate of 25 °C·min-1. The HA ceramics prepared at 900 °C and 1000 °C showed transparency. On the other hands, transparent β-TCP ceramics was obtained by SPS at 1000 °C. In analysis of the densification behavior during sintering of HA and β-TCP by SPS, dominant sintering mechanism was plastic flow in the early stage of densification. Transparent ceramics should be the most suitable materilas to investigate the interface between human cells and ceramics.

Calcium phosphates (Ca-P) are major constituents of calcified tissues, and are also extensively used for the elaboration of biomaterials. However, the usual high-temperature sintering processes generally lead to strong alterations of their chemical, physical and biological properties. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a non-conventional sintering technique based on the use of pulsed current, enabling fast heating and cooling rates, and lower sintering temperatures are often observed. The sintering of several orthophosphates (DCPD, amorphous TCP, beta-TCP, OCP, HA and biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites) by SPS was investigated in order to track potential advantages of this technique over usual Ca-P sintering methods. Special attention was given to the SPS consolidation of highly bioactive nanocrystalline apatites.
