TY - JOUR TI - THE EFFECT OF HYDROXYAPATITE ADDITIVE PRODUCED FROMDIFFERENT CALCIUM SOURCES TO STRENGTH OF BONE CEMENT AB - Acrylic bone cement at high strength is produced by adding hydroxyapatite additive which was produced using two different calcium sources (Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3) was aimed. Seashell was used as a CaCO3 source. Characterizations were performed using XRD, and FT-IR. Thermal behaviours and surface morphologies were determined using DTA/TG and SEM techniques. The addition of hydroxyapatite synthesized from Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3 increased the compressive strength (from 74 MPa to 106 MPa and 103 MPa) of the resultant cements respectively. These new bone cements have mechanical strengths comparable with commercially available cements and are believed to be more biocompatible since hydroxyapatite is a natural mineral present in the bone structure.
