Hydroxyapatite is widely used as a biomaterial because of its good biocompatible, bioactive and chemically similar to inorganic compound of human skeleton system .Its usage is restricted in the bone and teeth implants because of its poor mechanical properties under load bearing applications. To improve the mechanical properties of HA, it is used such as making composites, different shaping techniques and under various heat treatment. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an artificial material with layered crystal structure that has biocompatible and non-cytotoxic material for orthopedic applications. In this study, ıt was investigated how to affect mechanical properties of adding hBN to HA.
