Ca10Zn6 is a calcium-zinc intermetallic ceramic compound belonging to the family of bioceramics and calcium-based materials. This material is primarily investigated in biomedical research contexts for applications requiring biocompatibility, where the combination of calcium and zinc offers potential advantages in bone regeneration and tissue engineering due to the biological activity of both constituent elements. It represents an experimental composition rather than an established commercial ceramic, with research focus on optimizing its mechanical properties and biological response compared to conventional hydroxyapatite and other calcium phosphate systems.
