CaPO4
ceramicCalcium phosphate (CaPO₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the phosphate ceramic family, commonly encountered as a component or intermediate phase in calcium phosphate systems used in biomedical and industrial applications. The material is primarily valued in orthopedic and dental applications where biocompatibility and bioactivity are critical, particularly in bone scaffolds, coatings for implants, and restorative materials that can integrate with living tissue. Its chemical affinity to biological apatite minerals makes it a preferred choice over inert ceramics when bone bonding or gradual resorption is desired, though specific phase composition and sintering conditions significantly influence its performance characteristics.
