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 800C to 1400C. Manganese (Mn) level was varied in the range of 0.6, 1.9,...
