Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a popular biomaterial in making implants and bone grafts owing to its high biocompatibility and close resemblance to human bone. This study aims to determine the physiochemical and mechanical properties of HA derived from chicken bones (CHA) through calcination. Microwave irra...
