Abstract
Sintered body has been fabricated from Bio-ceramic Hydroxyapatite (HA) with having 2.5 µm of powder size. Initially, HA powder was mixed with varied polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) liquid that is played as binder. The addition of PVA aims to improve the tangential bond between HA powders. Subsequently, the uniaxial pressing method at a pressure of 200 MPa was applied to manufacture the green body. Meanwhile, the sintered body produced after sintering process conducted at 1150 oC with holding time of 120 minutes. Furthermore, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), density measurement, and Vickers Hardness Number (VHN) were utilized to characterize the product. The results indicate that PVA addition to HA powder enable to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the sintered body. It is due to have good tangential bond between HA powder thus increasing the strength mechanism. The finding would usefull for fabricating hard bone-implant products.
