摘要

A full compilation of Salvador De Aza works on biomedical materials is a huge task beyond the aim of this paper; instead it is intended to stand out De Aza's thoughts and leadership in the field of Bioceramics and to pay tribute to his memory. The most outstanding works of Professor Salvador De Aza related to Bioceramics, from the point of view of the authors, are commented and discussed.
Topics the authors chose among many other De Aza's works on biomedical materials are: The prediction and demonstration of bioactivity in pseudo-wollastonite ceramics; the use of phase diagrams to design bulk-bioactive ceramics with eutectic microstructures; the relationship between bioactivity and microstructure in ceramic biomaterials; and the studies on the polymorphic phase transitions in tricalcium phosphate.
