Preparation and Application of Calcium Phosphate Fibers

  • Chapter
Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems

Abstract

Inorganic fibers and whiskers have been used for many years, finding applications mostly as thermal insulation and reinforcement in composites based on polymers, metals and ceramics. Various fibrous materials such as glass, carbon, SiC, Si3N4, AI2O3, Z1O2, K2Ti6O13 and many others1 have been prepared for such purposes. Asbestos fibers have been widely used as natural fibers due to their high tensile strength, high thermal and chemical stability, and low cost. Unfortunately, an application of the fibrous materials may be connected with a health risk. Asbestos is reported to be a cause of many serious diseases including lung cancer.2 The main factors to be considered when addressing carcinogenicity are believed to be the morphology and the chemical composition of the materials.
