Microstructural, electrical and biological activity in [Formula: see text] ceramic composites designed for tissue engineering applications.

ABSTRACT: The article investigates electrically active ceramic composite of [Formula: see text] (HAP) and [Formula: see text] (BST) for biomedical applications. The study is a systematic blend of the materials science aspect of composites with a special focus on the dielectric and biological properties and their relationships. The article emphasized primarily extracting the dielectric constant ([Formula: see text] of the specimens (that lay in the range of 3-65) and related them to microstructural properties like the grain size and at.% of BST. A broad outlook on the importance of [Formula: see text] in determining the suitability of bioceramics for clinical applications is presented. Bioactivity analysis of the specimens led to probing the surface charges (that were negative), and it was found cruc
