Hydroxyapatite has beenextensively used in orthopedic application due to its similar composition withbone. It is a highly biocompatible calcium-phosphate based bioceramic whichcould be shaped into bone like structure with powder processing techniques.Gradually changing porosity pattern of bone maintains both ease of transmissionof bodily fluids and structural strength. Due to fracture type, in someinstances bone tissue could not be recoverable and aligning large bone fractalsrequires dense bone tissue to place fixation apparatus. In this study, the aimis to produce a dense hydroxyapatite artificial bone and the effects ofsintering duration and temperature were investigated. Metal ion doped calcium phosphates inhydroxyapatite form (<100nm) were used as powder. Two different types ofPolyvinyl alcohol (PVA, with molecular weights of 10000 and 60000g/mol) wereused as plasticizers to obtain strong green samples. The samples were sinteredbetween 1000°C to 1200°C for 60-300 min. Hardness and compressiontest were performed to observe effect of the process parameters. From the SEMimages and density measurements, highly dense samples were fabricated at 1200°Cfor 120 minutes. Compressive strength andhardness were enhanced up to 71 MPa and 4.5 GPa, respectively.
