Figure 7
From: Self-healing capacity of fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate cements
SEM images of a Cm-CPC that was damaged, healed and again damaged in (a) overview and (b) a detailed view of the mineralization in the crack, as well as for PO4-Cm-CPC with similar regime in (c) and (d). Scanning electron microscopy was performed on the side surfaces between the loading bars. Self-Healing capacity in terms of mechanical properties after 7 days storage in water or SBF of (e) C-CPC as well as PO4-C-CPC, and Cm-CPC as well as PO4-Cm-CPC. Results from ANOVA are indicated with p </> 0.05.
