The results indicate that the best values of maximum compressive strength and microhardness are achieved in the samples sintered at 1200 degrees C for the glass in the weight of 5 and 10%. Moreover, above 1000 degrees C, decomposition of hydroxyapatite and new phase formations such as whitlockite and silicocarnotite play also a major role in the hardness and strength for goat hydroxyapatite/commercial inert glass biocomposites.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBiomaterialsGoat-derived hydroxyapatiteGlassSinteringMechanical propertiesMECHANICAL-PROPERTIESCOMPOSITESBONECERAMICSAPATITEarticleWOS:00048297590000910.1007/s41779-018-0279-z2510-1579
