Studying the Effect of ZrO₂ Addition on Hydroxyapatite via Ball Milling Technique

Abstract:

The bio-composited ceramic stabilized zirconia-hydroxyapatite had been formed by ball milling method. The hydroxyapatite was synthesized from chicken eggshell via chemical precipitation. And it was mixed with stabilized zirconia powder together. All of the samples had been investigated by XRD, FTIR and UTM tester. The XRD and FTIR result showed that the stabilized zirconia-hydroxyapatite sample powder after ball mill was found only hydroxyapatite and zirconia phase without addition of other phase. High crystallinity of hydroxyapatite can be found after heat treatment and calcium zirconium oxide was formed around 1300 °C. In addition, the compressive strength increased with increasing the zirconia content shown by UTM tester.
