Synthetic Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) have the ability to provide the appropriate, scaffold or template for bone formation because of similar chemical and crystallographic structures to bone. The addition of 10wt. % of Ti powder in nano-HA powder was done by using ball milling. The different sintering temperatures at 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150 and 1200°C of nano-HA-Ti pallet were studied. Nano-HA-Ti pallet after vary sintering temperature were tested by hardness and compression strength tests. The optimum sintering temperature to sintered nano-Ha-Ti was at 1200°C because it gave the highest hardness and compression values which were 290.80HV and 78.49MPa. From Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyzed, nano-HA-Ti particles at 1200°C showed the attachment of nano-HA powder with Ti powder at grain boundary and some crack had form.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
