Dense manganese-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (Mn-BCP) ceramics were fabricated via uniaxial pressing using the sol-gel derived powders. The compacted discs were sintered in ambient atmosphere with temperatures ranging from 800 degrees C to 1400 degrees C. Manganese (Mn) level was varied in the r...
