P2O5-based glass hydroxyapatite (HA) composites denoted HA-2 oxide, HA-3 oxide, and HA-4-oxide, were immersed in Hank's balanced salt solution for a period of 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks at 37 degrees C in nonagitated condition for in vitro evaluation. A surface layer was precipitated on the composites tha

β¦ Synopsis
Commercial hydroxyapatite was reinforced by adding small amounts (2 and 4wt%) of P2Os-based glasses during its sintering process. The composites prepared had a chemical composition closely related to the mineral part of bone tissues in terms of trace elements usually detected, such as Na, K and Mg. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) showed that the glass reinforced-HA composites were composed of a HA matrix and variable amounts of tricalcium phosphate phase, depending on sintering temperature and glass composition. These composites were shown to have much higher biaxial bending strength than sintered HA, 107 MPa for Ha/2% of 35P=O5-35CaO-10Na20-10K20-10MgO glass composite and 28 MPa for sintered HA. The presence of J3-tricalcium phosphate in the microstructure of the composites is an important factor in the reinforcement process.

## Abstract In this research, we improved densification, hardness, and compression strength of synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics by introducing small quantities of MgOβCaOβP~2~O~5~βNa~2~Oβbased sintering additives. Biological properties of HAp were not altered by this procedure. Phase analyse
