Carbonate apatite (CO(3)Ap) foam has attracted attention as a bone substitute and scaffold for tissue regeneration. In this study, the feasibility of fabricating CO(3)Ap foam was evaluated on the basis of the setting reaction of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) foam granules. CO(3)Ap foam was formed when alpha-TCP foam granules were treated hydrothermally at 200 degrees C in the presence of NaHCO3 solution for 24 h. The precipitated CO(3)Ap crystals interlocked with each other to form the CO(3)Ap foam. The CO3Ap formed in high NaHCO3 containing solution was considered to be a B-type CO(3)Ap, which is the CO(3)Ap found in bones and contained 0.85 mass% CO3. When the alpha-TCP foam granules were treated at higher NaHCO3 solution, the content of the CO3 in the apatitic structure increased and changed the morphology of the CO(3)Ap from fiber-like to plate-like with a smaller aspect ratio; thus, the setting ability disappeared. 2015 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
