• Hydroxyapatite
• PMMA
• Bioactivity
• Mechanical Properties
• Physical properties

The purpose of this study was to identify a HAp/PMMA composite with ideal mechanical characteristics and bioactivity for use as an implant. We prepared composite samples containing either 0 wt%, 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 3 0wt% or 40 wt% HAp in PMMA, then tested their mechanical properties and analyzed the composite composition. This experiment proved that the mechanical properties and bioactivity of the composite can be satisfactory for use in an implant. In particular, the 10 wt% HAp composite can be a substitute for use in dental implants.
