Abstract: In order to improve fracture toughness, nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) powder was used for fabricate dense HA nanoceramic. The nanocrystalline HA powder was obtained with ball milling for 12 h from calcined natural bovine bone. The green compacts of HA nanopowder were sintered by pressureless sintering with non-linear heating rate sintering at 1200°C for 3 h. Fracture toughness and hardness properties of HA nanoceramic have been assessed using indentation technique. The fracture toughness values of sintered nanosized-HA powder is 3.5±0.1 MPa.m1/2, which is within those of human cortical bone. The nanostructure with liquid phase sintering of sintered nanosized-HA powder contributed to the increase of fracture toughness. The toughening mechanisms of pull-out of nanocrystalline HA and grain boundary sliding have been observed. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
