Abstract
The aim of the paper was to obtain a porous hydroxyapatite (HA) biomaterial s relating to the manufacture of artificial implants. The technique of impr egnating a body of porous polyurethane foam with slurry containing HA powde r, water and additives was applied and proved to be more successful. The pr ocess of preparations was discussed and the porous HA with desired properti es was obtained at last. (C) 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
