Hydroxyapatite (HA) exhibits several desirable characteristics, but it still lacks osteoinduction, which is a necessary requirement for a bone scaffold. HA-based composites with different amounts of Bioglass (R) (BG) were prepared using spark plasma sintering (SPS). Careful selection of the SPS para...
