The need for biomaterials is increasing day by day and researchers and
research groups are showing more interest in biomaterial production. Combustion
synthesis is a production method that has been used for many years. Especially with the
increase in the need for porous biomaterials, the production of biomaterials by
combustion synthesis has also gained importance. Among the biomaterials used in the
human body, calcium phosphate-based materials stand out due to their superior
mechanical and chemical properties. Calcium phosphate-based biomaterials are used in
both hard tissue and soft tissue replacements. It is possible to produce porous calcium
phosphate-based biomaterials by the combustion synthesis method. On the other hand,
it is possible to produce not only pure calcium phosphate-based materials but also their
composites which are used in bone tissue engineering. In this chapter, the principles of
combustion synthesis methods developed for calcium phosphate-based porous
biomaterials are summarized. In addition, it is aimed to create a summary guide for
experimental studies by presenting examples from the studies carried out in this field in
recent years.
