Notes:
Composites of calcinated bovine bone derived hydroxyapatite (BHA) doped with 5 wt%and 10 wt% machineable fluorapatite glass (MFG) were prepared by sintering. Microstructureobservations and measurements of density, compression strength and microhardness indicated apositive effect of MFG-doping to BHA. The highest compression strength (59.7 MPa) was achievedafter sintering at 1300°C for 5% MFG. In the light of results of earlier similar studies, the paperdiscusses the features of the potential of BHA-MFG composites in biomedical practice
