Zusammenfassung:A large hydroxyapatite (HA) sheet of 50 mm diameter was constructed using a new fabrication process. The HA sheet was prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and then separated from the substrate. An intermediate layer of spin-coated photoresist between the PLD film and the substrate was dissolved in acetone to enable the separation. Sufficient crystallinity was obtained after postannealing. The area of the HA sheet prepared by the proposed process was approximately 20 times larger than that of the HA sheet prepared by the previous process. The proposed process can also be used for larger sheets. The HA sheet has promise in medical and dental applications.
