Abstract
The purpose of this data narrative is to report the morphological structures, functional groups, elemental composition, pH adaptability and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) biomaterials synthesized from a novel mixture of biowastes (bovine and catfish bones) by a simple sol-gel method assisted with sintering at 900 °C. The produced powders were homogenously mixed by the sol-gel approach at different weights (depicted by sample nomenclature) and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with electron dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), immersion in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), and mechanical measurements (hardness and fracture toughness). The SEM micrographs revealed pore interconnections in all samples. The EDX analysis revealed that the as-sintered HAp samples had Ca/P weight ratios of 2.38, 2.51, 2.86, 2.89, and 3.10 for C100, BC 75/25, BC 50/50, BC 25/75, and B100 samples, respectively. The FT-IR spectra was typical of the bands associated with hydroxyapatite (i.e., those associated with the PO43− , CO32- groups and absorbed water). The prepared biomaterials showed pH adaptability and good mechanical strength.
