Abstract
Hydroxyapatite-poly (vinyl) alcohol nanocomposite powder was synthesized using varying poly (vinyl) alcohol concentrations. The dried powder was compacted into micro-porous disks at a load of 4 tons. The disks were sintered at 1200 degrees C to evolve porous nanocomposites. Size and shape of the pores observed in the scanning electron micrographs were quantified by using image processing software. Ultrasound velocity measurements were done to evaluate mechanical properties non-destructively.Entities:
