ABSTRACT
Researchers have become more interested in bioceramics in recent decades. Bioceramics are biocompatible ceramic materials that can be used in biomedical or clinical applications. The discovery of particularly designed and produced ceramics for the repair and restoration of sick, damaged, or “worn-out” portions of the body has ushered in a revolution in the use of ceramics to improve human quality of life during the last 50 years, and bioceramics are a type of ceramics that are exploited for these purposes. The forming process is one of the several steps involved in the fabrication of bioceramics, and it can be executed in a range of methods. Extrusion, pressing, slip casting, tape casting, additive manufacturing, injection molding, and so on are some of the methods that can be used for forming. This chapter will describe two methods for processing bioceramics: extrusion and slip casting.
