The mechanical properties of HA are influenced by its microstructure, which varies based on the source of the material, whether it is commercially acquired or laboratory-synthesized. This study aims to investigate and compare the properties of commercially available HA with those of laboratory-synthesized HA, as well as their mixtures, focusing on density and hardness. To conduct this investigation, both laboratory-synthesized and commercial HA were sintered at temperatures of 800°C, 900°C, 1000°C, and 1100°C for a duration of two hours. Additionally, various mixtures of the two sources of HA were prepared in weight percent ratios of 0:100, 30:70, 50:50, 70:30, and 100:0 using a planetary ball mill, also for two hours. The density of sintered HA was determined using Archimedes’ principle, while its hardness was evaluated using a Vickers hardness tester. The findings revealed that laboratory-synthesized HA sintered at 1100°C exhibited the highest density and hardness, measuring 3.15 g/cm 3 and 488.9 MPa, respectively. This superior performance can be attributed to the smaller particle size of the laboratory-synthesized HA, which enhances densification. The dense structure of the laboratory-synthesized HA results in reduced porosity and smaller grain sizes, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy images. In contrast, the commercial HA achieved a density of only 3.00 g/cm 3 at the same sintering temperature of 1100°C, attributable to poorer densification and a resultant porous microstructure. Notably, the mixture of commercial and laboratory-synthesized HA at a ratio of 30:70 demonstrated properties closely aligned with those of pure laboratory-synthesized HA, achieving a density of 3.14 g/cm 3 and a hardness of 477.3 MPa. These results underscore the importance of source material and processing conditions in determining the mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite.}, issn = {2597-9914}, pages = {130--137} doi = {10.14710/jksa.28.3.130-137}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/ksa/article/view/68560} }
