Book Chapter Description

Hydroxyapatite is one of the biomaterials that is widely used for bone implants due to its composition and structure, which is like human bone. The hydroxyapatite (HAp) component primarily consists of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). The aim of this study was to extract HAp from natural resources. Natural hydroxyapatite can be derived from animal, shell and fish sources. In this chapter, the natural HAp addressed was produced from Black Tilapia fish bones and scales (fish by-product wastes). A simple method was used based on the heat treatment process (600-1000 °C) to extract natural hydroxyapatite. Natural hydroxyapatite powders with controlled characteristics, which included morphology, chemical composition and crystallinity for getting good or better hydroxyapatite powders were prepared. Biological testing was conducted to analyse the powder, especially its biological activity. Natural hydroxyapatite from fish bones and scales has the potential to induce the formation of apatite and exhibits good biocompatibility.
