This project reports the mechanical properties and the microstructure of composite materials made of hydroxyapatite, obtained from natural cow bone, and BaO (1,2 and 5 wt.%), which were sintered at different temperatures between of 1150 and 1250°C. Higher sintering temperatures resulted in better de...
