The aim of this study was to develop the tape‐cast, laminated, and sintered β‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP) with milled Al2O3fibers for biomedical applications. Moreover, the effects of Al2O3‐fiber content on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the sintered β‐TCP laminates were investigated. The milled Al2O3fibers were added at four different contents, namely 0, 5, 10, or 15 mass%, to the initial β‐TCP slurry. Next, β‐TCP green sheets were fabricated from the β‐TCP slurry containing the milled Al2O3fibers by a tape‐casting method. Finally, six plies of β‐TCP monolayer sheet were laminated and sintered at a maximum temperature of 1100°C in a furnace. The results showed that there were large differences between the apparent porosities, dynamic hardness, and flexural properties of the sintered β‐TCP laminates with Al2O3‐fiber contents of 0 and 5 mass%, but few differences among laminates with fiber contents of 5, 10, and 15 mass%. This indicates that the addition of only 5 mass% of Al2O3fibers strongly affects the degree of sintering, corresponding to crystallization of the β‐TCP matrix phase. Furthermore, the flexural moduli of our materials ranged from 10.7 to 16.0 GPa when the Al2O3‐fiber content changed from 5 to 15 mass% and were the almost same as those of human bones reported by other researchers. In conclusion, sintered β‐TCP laminates with Al2O3fibers have potential uses in a wide range of biomedical applications because the microstructural and mechanical properties of the sintered β‐TCP laminates can be controlled by adding Al2O3fibers to the β‐TCP. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
