This study utilized hydroxyapatite (HA) and alumina (Al2O3) to create nanocomposites for biomedical applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was used to examine the phase composition, crystal size, and physical properties of the nanocomposites. The results showed that adding Al2O3 improved the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites but also increased their porosity.
Although hydroxyapatite (HA) has exceptional biological qualities that inspire researchers to employ it as an appealing biomaterial for various purposes, its usage in hard tissue replacement applications is severely restricted because of its fragility. In order to create nanocomposites with the necessary mechanical properties for biomedical applications, HA was produced, and various amounts of alumina (Al2O3) were added to it. Additionally, the phase composition of the powdered nanocomposites was examined using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Crystal sizes, lattice strain, and dislocation density were all estimated as well. In order to measure the produced nanocomposite powders' physical and elastic characteristics using the Archimedes method and ultrasonic non-destructive technique, they were then pressed and sintered at 1000 degrees C. The resulting information made it clear that further increases in the weight percentages of Al2O3 resulted in a 10.25, 25.64, and 33.33% reduction in crystal size. As a result of adding more Al2O3-up to 20 weight, percent-the results also showed that this properties-microhardness, compressive strength, Young's modulus, elastic modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio-were improved by 109, 36.29, 95.5, 100.59, 104.97, 92.84 and 9.5%, respectively. Unfortunately, it increased its porosity by considerable amounts. It might be argued that the generated nanocomposites are favorable for biomedical applications.
