Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of bioceramics which used in many biomedic applications. However, HA has poor mechanical properties. HA has be composited with material which has a good mechanical properties, such as nanosilica. In this study, synthesis HA was prepared by co-precipitation method. Base material to synthesis HA is onyx rock from Bojonegoro which contain 94.33 % Ca. While phosphate obtainable from Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate. The vickers hardness result using micro hardness vikers show that adding nanosilica is influence the mechanical properties of HA. The value of vikers hardness at adding nanosilica 10, 20, 30% respectively are 38.2; 42.3; 43.1 HVN while the porosity are 44.4; 40.7; 39.3 %. Keywords: nanosilica, HA-SiO 2 nanocomposites , porosity, Vickers Hardness, coprecipitation method Abstrak Hidroksiapatit (HA) merupakan biokeramik yang digunakan dalam aplikasi biomedis. Namun, HA memiliki sifat mekanik yang rapuh sehingga HA dikompositkan dengan material yang memiliki sifat mekanik baik yaitu nanosilika. Pada penelitian ini, sintesis HA dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kopresipitasi. Bahan dasar pembuatan HA adalah batuan onyx Bojonegoro yang dijadikan sebagai sumber Ca dengan kemurnian 94,33% sedangkan sumber fosfat diperoleh dari Ammonium Dihidrogen Fosfat. Hasil uji kekerasan menggunakan microhardness vikers menunjukkan adanya pengaruh penambahan nanosilika pada kekerasan nanokomposit HA-SiO 2. Besarnya nilai kekerasan untuk masing-masing kadar nanosilika 10, 20, 30% berturut-turut adalah 38,2; 42,3; 43.1 HVN sedangkan nilai porositasnya adalah 44,4; 40,7; 39,3 %. Kata Kunci: nanosilika, nanokomposit hidroksiapatit-SiO 2 , porositas, kekerasan, metode kopresipitasi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
