The effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on bending strength of calcium phosphate cement was investigated. The cement composite powders, containing 0, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0wt% CNTs respectively, were prepared by ball milling. It was found that the presence of CNTs improved the bending strength of the cement from 6.6 MPa to the best 10.5 MPa. The reason for mechanical property improvement is related to the fibers (bars)-like microstructure of the reinforcing element, with CNT in the core and hydroxyapatite crystals growing on it.

We performed vertebroplasty on goat model by injecting a new macroporous calcium phosphate cement MCPC®. The mechanical property of the cement is about 12MPa after 24 hours (compression test). The cement matrix is totally transformed into poorly crystallized apatite in 48 hours. This study demonstrates that MCPC cement was suitable and efficient for a spine application. Its injectability allows to be used in mini invasive surgery and its mechanical properties are compatible to support spine strength. In addition, a bone ingrowth onto the BCP granules occurred with time.

The solidification time of injectable bone cement should be fit for the clinical application. This research find out the effect of the amount of water-absorbent agent and water-retaining agent. The optimal ratio was be determined. The hydroxyapatite fibers with strontium were added into the CPC. The mechanical property, cytotoxicity test, SEM morphology, XRD and degradation performance in vitro were characterized, respectively. The results show the CPC had the solidification time of 12min when the ratio as below: β-TCP 55.5%, Ca (H2PO4)2H2O(MCPM)36%, MgHPO43H2O 5%, MgSO41%, Sodium pyrophosphate2.5%. The main components of solidify CPC were hydroxyapatite (HA) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD). The materials had a good Anti-collapsing performance and the degradation rate up to 16.72% after 9 weeks. The mechanical property of composite materials which combined with hydroxyapatite fibers with strontium has been improved, and the cell proliferation rate is also higher than common CPC. This study shows a potentially effective method to improve the mechanical property and the biological activity of calcium phosphate cement.

The emphasis of this study was in-situ synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on Mg matrix at 480°C. The process involves homogeneous deposition of Co catalyst onto Mg by deposition-precipitation route with low Co content (1.0 wt.%) and in situ synthesis of CNTs by chemical vapor deposition. The morphologies and microstructure of the as-obtained CNTs/Mg composite powders was characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman spectrum, and XRD. The results indicated that CNTs were well graphitized and uniformly distributed on the surface of Mg powders, which would be beneficial to the mechanical property of CNTs/Mg composites.

Carbon nanotube-mullite (Al2O3/SiO2=3/2) composites have been prepared by hot-pressing the corresponding composite powders, in which the multi-walled carbon nanotubes(1~10 vol%) are homogeneously dispersed between the mullite grains. The microstructure of the specimens has been studied and discussed in relation to the properties of the matrix, the bending strength and the fracture toughness, the dielectric constant and the dissipative factor. Carbon nanotube-mullite composites are potential electromagnetic wave absorbers owing to the percolation of the carbon nanotubes.

AlN/Cu composite powder was prepared by ball milling method. Laser particle size analyzer, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis were performed to study AlN/Cu composite powders. The effects of rotation speed, mixing time, and ball to powder weight ratio (BPR) on the particle size distribution, composition, and morphology were investigated. Results showed that the best ball milling parameters were the rotation speed of 200r/min, mixing time of 6 hours and BPR 10:1. In this best condition, AlN/Cu composite powders would be obtained with optimum particle size distribution and morphology. Then composite powders were pressed at 500MPa and sintered at 1000°C in N2atmosphere. Finally, the composite with an AlN content of 33wt% showed the bending strength of 370MPa, Vikers hardness HV154, thermal conductivity of 182.7W/m°C and electrical conductivity of 3.08MS/m. However, the composite with an AlN content of 25wt% showed the bending strength of 329MPa, Vikers hardness HV122, thermal conductivity of 195W/m°C and electrical conductivity of 6.54MS/m.
