Comparison of maximum bending stress, maximum bending strain, Young’s modulus, and Vickers hardness values of sintered-body samples prepared from Iso-OCP, Pure-OCP, and HAp compacts with those of cortical bone. All the sintered-body samples were heat treated at 1000°C for 24 h.
| Properties of sintered-body sample | Starting material used for sintered-body sample |
Cortical bone | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iso-OCP | Pure-OCP | HAp | ||
| Maximum bending stress (MPa) | 11.7 | 18.6 | 39.1 | 166 [50] |
| Maximum bending strain (×10−2) | 2.8 | 2.3 | 2.2 | No data |
| Young’s modulus (GPa) | 5.3 | 12.0 | 26.0 | 10.8 [50] |
| Vickers hardness (kgf/mm2) | 11.7 | 28.4 | 126.6 | 34.1 [51] |
The maximum bending stress, maximum bending strain, Young’s modulus, and Vickers hardness values are averaged over five samples.
