6. A method for producing a calcium phosphate porous sintered body which comprises steps of preparing a slurry by dispersing and/or dissolving calcium phosphate powder and an organic polymer material which is hardenable by cross-linking polymerization in a solvent;
- adding a foaming agent to the slurry and foaming it to a prescribed volume by stirring and/or gas introduction to lay the slurry in a foamed state;
adding a cross-linking agent and/or a cross-linking initiator to the foamed slurry followed by mixing, introducing the resulting mixture to a die, and hardening it by cross-linking polymerization to form a compact; and
drying the compact followed by sintering. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
