In the present work, the effect of varying the carbonate to phosphate (CO32-/PO43-) molar ratios from 0.5 to 4 on the sintering behaviour of carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) synthesized by a wet chemical method were investigated. The sintering was performed under carbon dioxide atmosphere at 900 °C t...
